December 7th 1941 Pearl Harbor (Part 2)

At 06:05 on December 7, the six Japanese carriers launched a first wave of 183 planes composed mainly of dive bombers, horizontal bombers and fighters. The Japanese hit American ships and military installations at 07:51. The first wave attacked military airfields of Ford Island. At 08:30, a second wave of 170 Japanese planes, mostly torpedo bombers, attacked the fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. The battleship Arizona was hit with an armor piercing bomb which penetrated the forward ammunition compartment, blowing the ship apart and sinking it within seconds. Overall, nine ships of the U.S. fleet were sunk and 21 ships were severely damaged. Three of the 21 would be irreparable. The overall death toll reached 2,350, including 68 civilians, and 1,178 injured. Of the military personnel lost at Pearl Harbor, 1,177 were from Arizona. The first shots fired were from the destroyer Ward on a midget submarine that had surfaced outside of Pearl Harbor; Ward did successfully sink the midget sub at approximately 06:55, about an hour before the assault on Pearl Harbor.

@samiolox Lol looks like someone is on the favorable side on the conspiracy trend. =P

[JaeHyunNam]

@samiolox Yes and no, they got information about an impending attack but was too arrogant to even raise a finger against such accusations.

[JaeHyunNam]

@JustinPierce88 well... it looks like somebody doesnt know a little bit on history now do they?

How is all that misinformation feel all crammed up in that small brain of yours? xD

[samiolox]

@JustinPierce88 - The americans knew about the japanese mission and they were waiting for it - they wanted a tiket to the war... so cut the crap short

[Spionsilver]

@JustinPierce88 No shit you idiot, if you would educate yourself a little on WWII then you would know the Japanese wanted to avoid war with us at all costs, but when FDR cut off oil to Japan we left them no choice.
