    An excellent answer has already been given. As a point of comparison, however, the greatest number of casualties in a measured period of time actually occurred during the First World War, at the Battle of Verdun, when some sixty thousand Frenchmen died in the first thirty minutes of fighting.

    That is equal to roughly 2,000 lives per minute, or, 33.3 lives per second...

    War is hell.
