what's wrong with staging a recreation of the 1945 A-bomb attacks over Japan?

sounds great fun to me and a good family day out.. get to see a firework show and a flying b29.. so long as it's minus a real a-bomb that is..

A major US air show has canceled plans to stage a re-enactment of the World War II atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima following complaints that it was 'inappropriate.'
Dayton Air Show in Ohio has featured a re-enactment of the bombing of the Japanese city - in August 1945 - for more than 30 years.

Gee I wonder why it might just be wrong to recreate an even that led to the deaths of 246000 people. While we're at why not recreate 9/11, Pearl harbour, the Holocaust, Battle of the Somme and the My Lai Massacre.

Surely they would be fun for the family too.

Nothing.

But you know how some like to rewrite history if the truth is not to their liking.

Thats actually my hometown-Dayton Ohio.
And when it comes down to it they need to use a real nuke on the place!

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with it. Its a part of history, why act like it never happened?

Whats next? ban re-enactments of the civil war?
