My mom was a WAC working near there, she said she heard all the explosions from there.
And saw all the airplanes flying around in the air.

Someone here had to mention it. Go ahead flame on. As usual.

Most of the people I talk to
about Pearl Harbor don't really
care if they're younger and
not grey headed
Some of those have a guilt
trip about dropping the A bombs
on japan

We put an end to that war. If the Germans or Japs had the bomb they would have used it

Pearl should not be forgotten...and it verges upon a crime that- more of our younger people are so ignorant of history.
  Sadly, that ignorance extends even to some more senior people.

   ...And yes, if the Nazis or Imperial Japan had the A bomb, they would have used it !  ..They were both working on it, and Germany came close.  That us why the allies bombed the Nazis "heavy water" plants in Norway.

Its a two disk movie, but very sad to see all the carnage. We watched it tonight. Its hard to wonder what the reaction would be if it happened today. That would be something like The day after, with Nukes, and the aftermath from the radiation and fallout. Thousands would continue to die.
