Maeda Point, Okinawa
by Jared
(Okinawa, Japan)
In World War II the Japanese held the Island of Okinawa until the American invasion of 1945. The Japanese knew they were losing the fight so they began having the inhabitants commit suicide by throwing themselves off cliffs like Maeda Point so the Americans could not capture them. Some times Americans who go there feel like they're getting pushed by some invisible force towards the cliffside.
