I remember seeing a documentary where they actually showed a Japanese survivor in the water pulling the pin off a grenade and blowing himself up. It was pretty rough to watch.

There was another documentary with footage of American soldiers approaching Japanese civilians and they showed a mother holding a baby jump off a cliff because of the horror stories they'd been told about the American troops by their propaganda.

Sorry for getting off topic. To reply to the OP yeah I definitely would say it was a war crime. GoldenRivet's analogy of shooting a man in a parachute was spot on.
