Dec 7 marks the the 70th anniversary of pearl harbor attack.
Japanese do not like to face the fact but....they got their arse kicked.. and got what was coming. President Trueman said this was the best thing that has ever happened.
Japan is owned by the USA and Douglas MacArthur is the Emperor of Japan, but since he is dead it is now Obama who is.
Though the Usa owns japan they are nice enough to allow them to use their jap flag and give themselves a virtual identity.
@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD Don't argue with me, I'm just the messenger. Read the book and it has all the evidence there in US military documents, memos and communiques. Stinnett studied the evidence. At the time, it wasn't easy to declare war... American cargo ships were being sunk by German U-boats in the North Atlantic, American pilots were fighting the Germans in Europe and the Japs in China (Flying Tigers) from 1939-41, yet the American public wanted to remain neutral and not go to war.

FDR killed the ARIZONA! Pearl Harbor was NOT a surprise attack, a result of US intel failure NOR a brilliant Jap plan...FDR KNEW about it beforehand and actually PUSHED the Japs to attack - Robert Stinnett's book DAY OF DECEIT, THE TRUTH ABOUT FDR AND PEARL HARBOR. The American public was fooled again and made to pay so that US military industrialists could get richer. 9/11 was the same thing. How stupid can you people be! US govt is just using you poor idiots!
i think that has to be the worst any american ship was ever attack...of all places..immobile in a harbor and the bomb penetrates the gunpowder storage area..Damn they really got us on that one...Didnt they realize what we would do to them or maybe they thought about it afterwards..Something no one had ever seen...black rain...
If you look close by freezing the video at the 18 second mark you'll see the bomb as it comes straight at the arizona. well it's around the 18 second mark
@bzzymatt It's possible but is probably a spot on the film which there are a lot of. The black fume that rises from below where it was at is supposed to be where the forward magazine explosion mostly vented from the ship. If you ever go to or have already gone to see the Arizona, there is a large vent shaft in that area. But who really knows for sure.
whaat happened at pearl harbour was dreadfull but tbh i think it was needed... it showed america that there not untouchable as they once though it was a wake up call
@fishykidproductions No it wasn't needed one bit. We stayed out of the war and they brought us into. But it's ok cause bombed the hell out of Tokyo anyways. Hope those worthless SOB's got what they deserved.
the reason we couldnt get people out of the arizona isnt because we couldnt cut through the steel its because the men would have been trapped in the bottom of the ship the nearby oklahoma capsized and they were aple to cut it open and reach the soldiers ... and there are no bodies inside i think well i mean if fish cant get down there than skeltons i hope i never find out
@phillip549 There are in both the Arizona and the Utah not only was it hard to cut throght the steal but the Japs where also straffing battleship row as well as bombing it but the Arizona was the only ship to sink at Pearl harbor the rest where just heavly Damaged.
all other ships where sent to California for repairs while Arizona remains as a memorial of the Attack and they did not bother to recover the Utah because it was just a traning ship.
the japanese werent attacking constantly they had attacked pearl harbor in 2 waves on the same day but people could still hear the tapping of metal in the oklahoma and arizona for several days after the oklahoma capsized but the hull was still above the water so they could cut open the ship but the arizona at leas where the men were was completley under water only the tower stuck up out of the water and they didnt have underwater welding then
@phillip549 Oh I know that the Japs where not constantley attacking about the fact that they where straffing did not help the sitiation not only that but Arizona burned for three days and with a perimita of oil burning around her it was imposable to get to her.
@phillip549 And I think there where a few Jap Mini subs roaming around
And Thats allright I am not an imature Key board warriror I could swear and cuss at you untill the Cows come home but where whould that leave us in this allready messed up world?
@phillip549 There is also accounts from crewmen aboard USS Tennessee BB-43 that heard tapping coming from the submerged USS West Virginia BB-48. That tapping went all the way to almost Christmas before it stopped. After the USS West Virginia was raised did they find the dead crewman who were trapped in an air space beneath the water.
@BBCKT Same with the capsized USS Oklahoma. They didnt hear any tapping, but When they cut her open they saw tally marks on the bulkheads that represented almost 2 weeks. I can't even imagine.
@thebritish25 They didn't want to recover the Utah and Oklahoma at first, but they felt that the two ships were blocking the channel so salvage efforts were performed last on those two. They managed to right the Oklahoma after a few months and thought they could do the same for the Utah. The Utah, unfortunately, started to drag rather then turn over. It sunk in the mud as a result. 15 yrs after the Utah sunk, there were plans to raise the ship, but they sold their winches by then.
I am sorry Clutch2013, but you are wrong. Pearl Harbor is considered a Shallow depth harbor. Here is a quote from Exhibit #17 from the Chief of Naval Operations.
"It is considered that the relatively shallow depth of water limits the need for anti-torpedo nets in Pearl Harbor."
The reason we didnt ave them is becuase, We had no technology we have today to get them out, Pearl harbor is a naturally deep harbor, and we couldnt get them, The men inside survived in there for about a week becuase the doors were water tight, you could still hear tapping on the walls after a week, unfortunaly they probably suffered of no oxygen or food/water..The reason the ship is still there is becuase it is known as the men's "Final resting place" so the government isnt going to move it.
I live here in Hawaii, Wheeler Army Airfield, where im stationed. To answer a few of the posts. 1. Yes there are bodies in the Arizona, it is now a cemetery. There are also people still alive from the pearl harbor attack, if they choose to they are allowed to be layed to rest there. 2. Yes people died in pearl harbor... a lot of people. 3. There is sound of the Arizona explosion, the real futage is kept at the Pearl Harbor memorial. The real sound is amazing and will always give you chills.
The Japanese were not aware that right beside the USS New Orleans, wich was in drydock, was a big tank with almost a million gallons of Gasoline. If they would have hit that, the amount of destruction would have been tremendously worse.
It wasn't so much that the destruction would have been worse. It was the fact that without the fuel there our fleet would have not been able to operate for probably 1-2 more years, thus either surrendering or at least pushing back the battle of Midway until more fuel could be obtained, refined and replenished.
Midway would have still happened. It would have just taken longer. Remember this is when our manufacturing power was building to its peak and people were PO'd. Those that couldn't serve found another way to serve.
whos comment are you looking it? it says "over 1000 soldiers were KILLED when the bomb hit, including my great great grandpa....and most of those 1000 are still in the ship" it does not say soliders in that sentence...it says SOLDIERS not SOLIDERS!!!
@talkingsports that is sick, I don't think there would be anything left anyway as sea creatures and molecules eat anything. When ballard found the bismarck and titanic he found no bodies.
Thats not sick at all. Pretty unlikely there'll be anything left, but I also think we should leave it as it is...But..your chance may come. The Arizona is falling apart and whatevers left of the men inside will surely float into the harbour. Sad as that is.
@the82spartans my uncle was cleaning his gun (cannon) on deck and was thrown into flaming water, as the oil from the tanker was set ablaze, under the water he kept swimming and was burnt also and he could see the remains of his shipmates. he had nightmares of it all his life.....he had a happy marriage and went to reunions of the navy at Pearl Harbor until his death....(source) John D. Walker.....remembering those men today.
@talkingsports the deck of that ship was 3 inch steel. can you imagine trying to cut through that in the 1940s, underwater, after a massive attack? they did try, but they just couldnt break into it in time. :(
what gets me is how does the camera man know the ship is going to be hit by a bomb? he's pointing the camera straight at it like he's prepared for something.
It was partially damaged already and maybe was just taking a long shot of it when it happened. also he could have seen the bomb coming in and it was just off-camera.
I have never seen all of it, but the original film is much longer than just the explosion. Camera man was on another ship north side of Ford Island, and his view of battleship row was limited to mainly the Arizona and the Nevada behind Arizona. So he filmed what he saw. Arizona was taking damage from other bomb hits, so filming was done where action taking place. Also, any sound you hear is fake (explosion sound) as there was no sound on original film.
we, let our gaurd down, the japanes new that our gaurd was down so they used our weakness to hier advantage. the declarance of war from the japanese was supposed to arrive at america, but the leter had been dameged on the way to get the emperers signeture. the japanese were already very close to the islands, so they chose to carry on with the attack.
Well I'm sure you must have worked in the U.S. Army intelligence department from 1928 until way after the war to know so much. Suffice to say I will not be replying anymore as I have better things to do than discuss this further with someone born in 1993 that knows so much more than the rest of us about WWII.
You interpreted my reply incorrectly. I did not say it was a conspiracy. Our overconfidence in the distance from Japan to Pearl & the sense of security based in the strength of our navy is why we let it happen. Like I said it was out if ignorance/complacancy, if it was intentional then so be it but but the first two reasons are how we let it happen. By the way with all of your knowledge how is it you don't realize we were reading there messages for months seeing how we cracked purple machine?
may god bless crew and loved ones...rest in peace my brave american sailors for you have been avenged by nukeing japan twice! we will never forget 7 dec 1941!
Some of the Japanese Kates were used as level bombers. The first wave scored no hits from 10k feet. The second wave went in much lower, they scored more hits but their bombs didn't fall fast enough to penetrate the battleships deck armor. No bombs dropped that day penetrated any armor more then 4in thick, including the USS Arizona which had 5in of deck armor.
the bombs that the Kates used were modified 18 inch armor piercing shells from the Yamato class battleships. Kate torpedo bombers carried a torpedo modified for shallow water.
I think only 7 souls survived that... most were blown clear of the ship and lived, a few others climbed out of a hatch. Everyone on the bridge was burned alive as the tower fell forward into the flames. Oh well, Japan got theirs in the end...
the ship its self wasn't prepared for the attack like all of the others. Its guards were down and all its windows were up (helping it sink) because it was to be inspected the Monday morning after and the soldiers wanted to air the ship out so the inspectors would feel more comfortable. Thats why it was so easily sunk.
The group first saw combat on 20 December 1941, 12 days AFTER Pearl Harbor, so you're a liar about them attacking you first. The Tigers were credited with destroying almost 300 aircraft while losing only 14 pilots on combat missions. Moreover the chinese didn't have a standing airforce untill 1937. The war between China and Japan started when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931. So there goes your BS lie about a large scale air raid from a non-existant airforce. Even on the internet you're a loser
No they didn't. Do you ever tell the truth on anything? Let me guess, you refuse to acknowledge the rap of Nanking and other war crimes comitted right?
Wow, you and Neo-Nazi's have a lot in common. Tell me something, do you pride yourself on being an ingorant racist bigot or do you have ANY shame at all for the tripe you spread? It's people like you that make me feel that dropping the atomic bomb on Japan twice was justified if that's the mentality you still have.
There were actually photos and films made of the bombings, the taking of the city by Japanese troops and the brutal firing squads. It's on film, it was shown in movie theater news casts, you can stiil find copies, if you look.
A lot of Japanese women who had come back from Asian various places after World War II were being raped by Chinese, Korean , the Russian, and the American.
The aborticide hospital was set up in many of ports in Japan.
Therefore, it is necessary to make an excuse to the victorious country, that is, "Comfort woman".
Do not think that the Japanese is enduring your lies indefinitely.
Hundreds and hundreds of men died on the battleships...that is loss of life, and it's no different than if they'd be strafed. It was an act of war, not some sort of 'humane' killing.
@shaolinloser Yeah, in WW2 in Canada,ever Japenese person was put in camps. You know David Zuzuki? (pardon my spelling of his last name) he is so mad, he crys everytime because his parents were put into a camp.
@shaolinloser I find this an odd place to bring up feeling sad about the Japanese Americans and what happened to them. During an actual discussion of the internment camps, do you feel the need to bring up how sad you feel about the thousands of young sevicemen killed and severely wounded aboard the Arizona and aboard the other ships and throughout the island?
@shaolinloser I agree, but war sucks any way you look at it. The Japanese through the first punch and put their citizens in harm's way by attacking Pearl Harbor.
It was hit by an armor piercing bomb passing through the front right deck just off the right of gun turret 1, entering the foward magazine and blowing up the entire munitions supply in that room. It was not blown up by a torpedo.
i remember it geting hit by a armor piercing bomb by i think a dive bomber (could be wrong about the dive bomber) in a documentary on the military channel about pearl harbor
One problem: Divers could not find a hole in the main deck where you show the bomb hitting. A close frame by frame analyst by the Navy indicated a large oil and gasoline fire in the bow. Since black powder stowed for the catapult was in the same area it was proposed that it's ignition set off the magazine and not the bombs. None of the other ships had their main decks penetrated by bombs because the Japanese bombers were too low.
My grandpa shot down 3 japanese zeros and helped sink 2 japanese tankers during the war.....and it's funny that 60 years later I have a girlfriend who is japanese and her grandpa fight for japan in world war 2!
t opening image actually shows arizona in 1931 steaming towards my hometown Ponce PUR carrying pres herbert hoover aboard as part of a caribbean cruise just after arizona's refit which gave her her better known tripo-masted appearance
They did not just drop bombs on ships, they strafed civilians and soldiers both, after the ships were already bombed and sinking.....steer clear of this blame America first crap. We are the only nation people seem to want to demand apologies from. Japan surrendered, but only after the *2ND* atom bomb. Hitler refused to surrender voluntarily. Neither country has "apologized" to the world at large for the havoc they caused.
No, they had sent out feelers, but they would not accept unconditional surrender. The US and Britain had laid down the conditions for surrender when Roosevelt and Churchill met in North Africa in 1942. Yes, the bombs were unnecessary, but Japan started the war and America finished it.
hm...i cant think of too many. i guess you can count the two we're in now. korea, north invaded south. vietnam, same shit. 1st gulf, iraq invaded kuwait. those are the only wars we've been in in the last 60 years. (not counting the small month long ones)

what gets me is how does the camera man know the ship is going to be hit by a bomb? he's pointing the camera straight at it like he's prepared for something.
just1left2002 2 years ago
It was partially damaged already and maybe was just taking a long shot of it when it happened. also he could have seen the bomb coming in and it was just off-camera.
ReverantFaun 2 years ago
I have never seen all of it, but the original film is much longer than just the explosion. Camera man was on another ship north side of Ford Island, and his view of battleship row was limited to mainly the Arizona and the Nevada behind Arizona. So he filmed what he saw. Arizona was taking damage from other bomb hits, so filming was done where action taking place. Also, any sound you hear is fake (explosion sound) as there was no sound on original film.

Well I'm sure you must have worked in the U.S. Army intelligence department from 1928 until way after the war to know so much. Suffice to say I will not be replying anymore as I have better things to do than discuss this further with someone born in 1993 that knows so much more than the rest of us about WWII.

You interpreted my reply incorrectly. I did not say it was a conspiracy. Our overconfidence in the distance from Japan to Pearl & the sense of security based in the strength of our navy is why we let it happen. Like I said it was out if ignorance/complacancy, if it was intentional then so be it but but the first two reasons are how we let it happen. By the way with all of your knowledge how is it you don't realize we were reading there messages for months seeing how we cracked purple machine?

Did the fatal hit come from a Vall dive-bomber (220 kg bomb ), or from a Kate (800kg) ?
CaxiasFreguesia 2 years ago

V8power923 2 years ago
it was a Kate.
THEF22RAPTORACE 2 years ago
it was hit by a kate class torpedo plane armed with an 800kg bomb
adameuling 2 years ago
Some of the Japanese Kates were used as level bombers. The first wave scored no hits from 10k feet. The second wave went in much lower, they scored more hits but their bombs didn't fall fast enough to penetrate the battleships deck armor. No bombs dropped that day penetrated any armor more then 4in thick, including the USS Arizona which had 5in of deck armor.
Bullettube 2 years ago
the bombs that the Kates used were modified 18 inch armor piercing shells from the Yamato class battleships. Kate torpedo bombers carried a torpedo modified for shallow water.
kdraper2007 2 years ago
I think only 7 souls survived that... most were blown clear of the ship and lived, a few others climbed out of a hatch. Everyone on the bridge was burned alive as the tower fell forward into the flames. Oh well, Japan got theirs in the end...

OleYanks 3 years ago
the ship its self wasn't prepared for the attack like all of the others. Its guards were down and all its windows were up (helping it sink) because it was to be inspected the Monday morning after and the soldiers wanted to air the ship out so the inspectors would feel more comfortable. Thats why it was so easily sunk.

The United States organized "Flying Tigers" before World War II, and was attacking Japan.
Moreover, China tried to large-scale make an air raid to Japan before World War II.
CrimeAvenger2 3 years ago
good
rossandzach 3 years ago
The group first saw combat on 20 December 1941, 12 days AFTER Pearl Harbor, so you're a liar about them attacking you first. The Tigers were credited with destroying almost 300 aircraft while losing only 14 pilots on combat missions. Moreover the chinese didn't have a standing airforce untill 1937. The war between China and Japan started when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931. So there goes your BS lie about a large scale air raid from a non-existant airforce. Even on the internet you're a loser

China invaded Nagasaki in August, 1886, and hundreds of Japanese citizens were killed and injured.
CrimeAvenger2 3 years ago
No they didn't. Do you ever tell the truth on anything? Let me guess, you refuse to acknowledge the rap of Nanking and other war crimes comitted right?
nikolatvala 3 years ago
"Nanking" is a lie that Chiang Kai-shek made .
There is no thing that a scientific investigation is done about Nanking up to now. China is refusing everything.
Chiang Kai-shek destroyed HwangHo and three million destruction Chinese was killed. (At that time, even rescue operation went in a Japanese army. )
After WWII, the Soviet abducted 1.07 million Japanese to Siberia and imposed forced labor. And, 370,000 Japanese died.
Therefore, Nanking is absolutely necessary to attack Japan.
CrimeAvenger2 3 years ago
Wow, you and Neo-Nazi's have a lot in common. Tell me something, do you pride yourself on being an ingorant racist bigot or do you have ANY shame at all for the tripe you spread?

nikolatvala 3 years ago
There were actually photos and films made of the bombings, the taking of the city by Japanese troops and the brutal firing squads. It's on film, it was shown in movie theater news casts, you can stiil find copies, if you look.
Bullettube 2 years ago
I say to you beforehand.
A lot of Japanese women who had come back from Asian various places after World War II were being raped by Chinese, Korean , the Russian, and the American.
The aborticide hospital was set up in many of ports in Japan.
Therefore, it is necessary to make an excuse to the victorious country, that is, "Comfort woman".
Do not think that the Japanese is enduring your lies indefinitely.
CrimeAvenger2 3 years ago
Hundreds and hundreds of men died on the battleships...that is loss of life, and it's no different than if they'd be strafed. It was an act of war, not some sort of 'humane' killing.

It was hit by an armor piercing bomb passing through the front right deck just off the right of gun turret 1, entering the foward magazine and blowing up the entire munitions supply in that room. It was not blown up by a torpedo.

One problem: Divers could not find a hole in the main deck where you show the bomb hitting. A close frame by frame analyst by the Navy indicated a large oil and gasoline fire in the bow. Since black powder stowed for the catapult was in the same area it was proposed that it's ignition set off the magazine and not the bombs. None of the other ships had their main decks penetrated by bombs because the Japanese bombers were too low.

We are the only nation people seem to want to demand apologies from. Japan surrendered, but only after the *2ND* atom bomb. Hitler refused to surrender voluntarily. Neither country has "apologized" to the world at large for the havoc they caused.

No, they had sent out feelers, but they would not accept unconditional surrender. The US and Britain had laid down the conditions for surrender when Roosevelt and Churchill met in North Africa in 1942. Yes, the bombs were unnecessary, but Japan started the war and America finished it.
