    London Blitz

    Something I haven't seen before: a record of just about every bomb that fell on London during the Blitz, between October 7, 1940 and June 6, 1941. Some 28,325 bombs altogether, over the 9 months. If you zoom in, there's even a description of each bomb. Quite the project.

    That is fascinating. I don't get any information when I click on a dot(bomb)
    It would be interesting to see unexploded bombs mapped as well.

    You need to zoom in, until the dot turns into a bomb, and then you can click for info.

    i played with it myself....i zoomed in to street level (after selecting a certin bomb point) and it just disappeared,and the "bar" on the bottom left just kept "scrolling" like the windows eggtimer thing used spin?...i lift it for over an hour and it never showed me anything...BUT i shall persist...that looks pretty cool to me...looks like hours of searching

    Yes that is what I get as well Dave, it does not zoom past the dot phase. Still a remarkable look at history.

    Just to be sure: you're using the little vertical +- slider at left?
