ground zero
Aug 06, 2003, 12:11
By the way, has this been mentioned before? And please feel free to correct me /argue, I admit I don't know what I'm talking about.

Hiroshima - wasn't the bomb dropped there dropped by the US? And wasn't the place subsequently called 'Ground Zero'. And didn't hundreds of thousands of people die as a result?

So how come the September the 11th bombing has now appropriated the 'Ground Zero' monicker? I'm not saying it was any less dreadful because fewer people died. But isn't it a bit ironic that they should pick that name, when it was America who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima in the first place?
