A POWERFUL EDITION RECREATING THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR - DECEMBER 7, 1941
REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
By Robert Taylor
Aichi D-3A1 dive bombers from the Japanese carrier Kaga attack the battleship Nevada, already holed by torpedoes and beached at Hospital Point.The destroyer Shaw is on fire, and behind her the battleship Pennsylvania, the cruiser Helena, and the Base Force Flagship Argonne, can be seen in the turmoil of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
There are few truly defining moments in the history of a State – single episodes that touch every citizen, and cast a nation’s future. History-changing events that influence the entire world are even more uncommon. The events that took place in the space of less than two hours on the morning of December 7, 1941 were of such defining importance, their memory is now deeply embedded into the history of the Twentieth Century.
At ten minutes to eight, as the US Pacific fleet lazily came awake suddenly, and without warning, the world around them exploded with all the mighty force of thunder: Within seconds Pearl Harbor became cloaked with attacking Japanese aircraft. Before sailors could comprehend what was happening, bombs and torpedoes had ripped out the heart of the fleet: Four of eight battleships were sunk; a dozen more naval vessels lay stricken in the water; 2400 souls perished.
In those terrible few moments, the tranquil scene was transformed into a boiling cauldron of explosions, fire, smoke and unimaginable destruction. Pearl Harbor became a ranging inferno.
