I think that this is the SHAW explosion not the ARIZONA, if it is real.

@BrooksRowlett This is the USS ARIZONA, look at the harbor and you can see that it is real. I gave this film clip the the ARIZONA Memorial along with several other film clips for research. They said they had never seen it before and happy to get it.

@Galadrid quit dishonoring the people who died at Pearl Harbors memory. MAGIC barely cracked the ajapnese code, decoding it was slow going and by the time we knew about the attack it was only minutes before the harbor was hit. Besides We had nothing to gain from war with Japan and Germany. Quit it with your fucking conspiracy theories im sick of you people insulting those who died and those who couldnt stop it by saying they planned/let it happen

ok, for the sake of argument let's just say that the U.S. knew the Japanese were coming. the talk of lives that could have been saved is short sighted. Can you imagine the carnage if the Rising Sun were allowed to continue their reign of terror in the far east? Australia would have been easy meat for Japan to invade and occupy.......the lives lost would have dwarfed the number of brave, yet hapless US servicemen at Pearl Harbor. A tragedy , yes. but it was a godsend to many many many people

The Shaw was in port. The Arizona was with the 8 Battleships. If that was the Shaw, then that means the Penn. Got out of port.

@AccordGTR Nope.

@Mrdadeoo "winning the war in a day", if it were possible, does not fulfill the objectives of FDR which was to mobilize the country for war. Look at the state of US military before Pearl Harbor, it was using WW1 equipment in the Philippines, its largest military outpost in the Pacific. Japan had more carriers. Even P-40's were obsolete. FDR had to get congressional approval and public support to mobilize. You have to study the facts and history and it will make better sense

@AccordGTR Well, that's been going around for a long time. However, to really, really know, You had to Be There. "And still some people remain gullible and ignorant as ever" cuts both ways.

come on people,if the US knew they were coming ,why not be waiting for them,jump them,win the war in a day?the US wouldn't need a body count to convince Americans to go to war,being attacked is enough.Military incompetence is to blame,admirals love their ships ,they don't want to see them die.lets not forget most admirals at the time didn't think aircraft were a problems for a battleship to fight off. war in Europe for 2 years,no battleships were lost to air attacks in that time

It's possible it is the Arizona. If so it is a bit into the explosion. In the very beginning the explosion was vented up the stack then became larger and the magazine went.

As long as the US refuses to take pre-emptive action against our enemies this will continue to happen,. i.e. Iran.
