Off topic a bit but how accurate was that bomb drop compard to reality, any thoughts? This maybe best on another forum here, but in a "crouded" town that would/could be a one in a million bomb drop from the plane one would think.....I'm no expert though!!LOL

Cheers, to another good movie like this in the future, maybe the Band of Brothers in the Pacific that is being made??

Now you've got me wanting to watch he movie again to check out that Tiger! I guess it wouldn't be the first time a Hollywood movie used a little "Artistic license" to show a big boom moment, but yes...a very accurate bomb drop indeed! Considering the amount of congestion in that area, I think it a bit of a wild shot that hit, but hey, war is strange, no?

The Band of Brothers Pacific will, I'm sure, prove a quality production. I fear I need a lot more education (as do most) in the Pacific theater, as it just doesn't seem to get the same amount of attention as ETO...this may be a nice boost to a neglected theater.
