During WW2, they Japanese were hoping for a divine intervention to save them.Those were the Kamikadze pilots, some history of that mission era is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KamikazeKamikaze missions. Where Japanese pilots flew into targets with planes loaded with explosives and excess fuel.Look up "kamikaze" and find out about it therekamikazesA + D =
Where did the Mont-Blanc explode during World War 1 in Canada?

What is a kamikazie?
The Divine Wind was a last ditch attempt to stop American ships. Basically it referred to an aircraft that was loaded with explosives. The pilot would fly the plane into a ship where it would blow up. In a way it was a primitive missile with a human guidance system. Japanese airman were usually very young and poorly trained. The planes were often not fully equipped.
What is the weight of a m1 garand?

What did kamikazes do?
They were Japanese suicide fighter pilots. They would fly planes into ships. As the war in the pacific continued the Japanese leader's new that the American Navy was out growing theirs. In an effort to try to be victorious. They started to recruit, young, new pilot's into the service of the Imperial Air Force telling them they were going to be accepted into the arms of the spirit's with honor when they gave their life by crashing into the 'evil' American ship's killing many 'evil' enemy. Many did it to not disgrace their families honor but it wasn't wide spread so the Japanese navy would chain these pilot's into the planes and if they refused to fly or didn't crash into the ship they would be shot. Note: This killing yourself for glory thing was later picked up by . . . Muslim clerics telling their follower's that to arm yourself with a bomb to kill the infidel's would leave you to the promised land as well. The planes were loaded with explosives and just enough fuel to get to there target. They were designed to destroy as many ships as possible. Hope this helps

What country trained dogs to look for food under tanks so they could be sent to enemy lines loaded down with explosives?
Soviet Union
Was there two more bombs inside the Oklahoma City federal building that didn't blowup?
yes There were NO bombs INSIDE the federal building. There was one truck loaded with home-made explosives parked outside.
What kind of bombs was loaded on the kamakaze?
There were no loads specified but the methods were. The most familiar of these suicide attacks are those of the infamous Kamikaze pilots. These pilots would fly planes into allied vessels during World War II. The planes, loaded down with explosives, would explode severely crippling the target vessel and killing the pilot. However, the Kamikaze was not the only suicide attack the Japanese had in their arsenal. In a report produced by the Office of Strategic Services titled, "Japan's 'Secret' Weapon: Suicide", researchers discuss several types of suicide attacks. Below is a summary of each one. The anti-tank units would march into battle with what was essentially a bomb on a stick. Better known as Lunge mines, these explosives were mounted on the end of a five-foot pole. When faced with an Allied tank, the Japanese soldier would thrust the bomb mounted stick at the tank causing it to explode. The explosion would destroy or, at the very least make the tank unusable. The explosions would also kill the soldier.Although this method was very low-tech, it was highly-effective. The lunge mine provided about six inches of penetration more than any other anti-tank bomb used in World War II. Suicide Swimmers/Diverswere frogmen version of the close combat troops. These men would swim toward allied ships with more than 30 pounds of explosive material on the end of a 16 ft. pole. The idea was to have the soldiers in dive gear and weighted down so he would sink.As the allied ships passed near the diver, he would thrust the stick into the hull of the ship, causing the bomb to detonate, destroying the vessel and the Fukuryu. Suicide Boats and Flying Bombs These boats were capable of reaching speeds of 30 mph and carried a load of explosives, usually in the bow of the boat. The lone captain of the suicide vessel would then slam his bomb-laden boat into the allied ship.It is estimated that the Japanese had 400 of the boats ready if an invasion occurred on the Japanese mainland. Suicide Flying Bombs. These were similar to the kamikaze planes, except these were built for the sole purpose of suicide missions. The kamikazes were normally planes that were loaded down with explosives; whereas the flying bomb was nothing more than a missile that was piloted by a human. One such craft was the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka. The aircraft was about 20 ft. long and could carry over 2,600 lbs. of explosive material, normally made up of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder. Suicide Submarine. Though not mentioned in the Office of Strategic Services report, the Japanese also had a suicide submarine in their arsenal which they called Kaiten. Similarly to the flying bombs, the Kaiten was nothing more than a man-driven torpedo. Yet, this packed a punch. These suicide submarines often carried a 1,100 lb. warhead. It has been noted that the Kaiten was designed with an escape hatch that could have been used after the final acceleration. However, to date, no documentation has been uncovered to indicate that this hatch was ever used. Toward the end of World War II, the Japanese realized they were losing the war. In a desperate effort to regain some momentum, they implemented their Special Attack Units, known as shimbu-tai. Their specialty was suicide attacks. It seems that right up to the end of the war, the Japanese had a suicide attack ready for land, seal, and air.
