There are some that stand out to me more than others, but I don't want to say which ones are my favorites, because I have to keep reminding myself that this actually happened and many people were killed and many people were wounded. (In total, counting both civilians and people in uniform: 2,403 were killed and 1,178 were wounded.)


My family and I visted Pearl Harbor when we were in Oahu.I remember finding the whole experience both moving and chilling at the same time.

While the photos are real, the story behind them is an urban legend:

Amazing photos....like you said, it's definently hard saying which is a "fav" but I find the picture with the airplane exploding (towards the top) extremely, I dont know, captivating.

^^ They are of Pearl Harbor, but they didn't come from the camera found in a sailor's foot locker.
