Es gibt Dinge, bei denen man sich an den Kopf packt und bei denen man sich fragt, wie das jemals jemand für eine gute Idee halten konnte: Eine US-Luftfahrtschau hat nach Protesten ein geplantes Reenactment des Atombombenabwurfes auf Hiroshima abgesagt.
A popular air show has cancelled plans to stage a re-enactment of the devastating World War II atomic bomb attack on Japan after protests, officials said Thursday.
Dayton Air Show spokeswoman Brenda Kerfoot said the June 22-23 event at Dayton International Airport will keep a planned “Great Wall of Fire” pyrotechnic show but not as an event meant to re-enact the Aug. 6, 1945, bombing of Hiroshima. The B-29 plane “Fifi,” similar to the Enola Gay B-29 bomber used to attack Japan, will remain in the show but in a separate role.
Air show officials said the re-enactment was meant to highlight a historic event that helped end the war and save lives that would have been lost if the war had been prolonged.
