Fu-go balloon bombs. Some 9,300 were launched, with 300 observed over Canada and the United States. One even led to the death of 6 civilians in Oregon in May 1945. Their biological threat was subsequently ruled out; their threat was more incendiary and likely to spark forest fires.During WW2 didn’t the Japanese try some stunt where they sent thousands of balloons towards the US west coast with small bombs or even anthrax ??! Don’ think any made it.
Can we get a few to fly over Old Trafford and Andield.Fu-go balloon bombs. Some 9,300 were launched, with 300 observed over Canada and the United States.

Prevailing winds are not in your favour, and the hot air emanating from those places would just blow them east anyway.Can we get a few to fly over Old Trafford and Andield.
