Same map as previous, but tilted and rotated clockwise. This is the bombing frequency in the area. It does not include cluster bombs.

Every dot represents one bombing run by any number of planes and normally represents 20-40 bombs. The big stack represents over 2500 bombs. Their location just represents where they planned to drop, so its safe to say the whole area is totally saturated with bombs. The 'interdiction point' (where the photo of my broken clutch lever was taken) was hammered as it was where the main west to east section of the HCMT funnelled through a gorge.
