That site really drives the tragic results of drone strikes, however from a UX perspective, I wish they would not use a stacked sliding bar for the death count at the top.

Seeing the death of children growing at the start is heart wrenching, but as the other values grow, the 'children' bar actually shrinks, devaluing the impact of the tragic toll.

Perhaps counters like the "Every Atomic explosion since 1945 video"? [0] Might drive home the point a little better?

They are getting "better" though. The ratio of civilian deaths seems to go down with the years.
