Drones Visualization: Every U.S. Drone Strike In Pakistan Since 2004 (GRAPHIC)

The Most Disturbing Graphic You'll See Today

Pitch Interactive, a Berkeley-based data visualization unit, has created a graphic tracking every drone strike the United States has carried out in Pakistan since 2004. Wesley Grubbs, who created the visualization, joined HuffPost Live host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin Tuesday to explain the motivation behind the visualization.

"We want to shock people," Grubbs said. "What we tried to do though with this was not just shock people with the number of casualties, but to shock people with the amount of information that we really don't know."



The visualization, seen below, tracks the victims of the strikes using data from the Bureau for Investigative Journalism, specifically noting children and civilian collateral damage. Note the sharp uptick after President Obama takes office in 2009:
