A day that changed the world.
I honestly can't even imagine the horror of that day. We lived in Waipahu, HI when they were filming Tora Tora Tora and we could watch the explosions in Pearl Harbor from our front porch. There were many airplanes flying over in formation. There was no doubt we we not under attack and it was all make believe, but it made it easy to understand some tiny little part of the power of the Japanese attack.
Don't forget it was not just Pearl Harbor that was attacked that day. They attacked the Philippines, American Midway, Wake and Guam Islands, British Hong Kong and Malaya. Some were technically on December 8th due to the international date line, but in real time it was all pretty much at once.
