The attack of our lifes December 7,1941 Pearl Harbor.
The attacking planes came in two waves the first hit at 7:53 A.M. and the second at 8:55 A.M. By 9:55 it was all over. By 1:00 P.M. teh carries that luanched the planes from 274 miles off the coast of Oahu were heading back to Japan.
Sence General Locker had staied after the quiting time he would have never known that the japanese were coming he was the one who could have made a differance. When he was sittin in the Sensor Sation Doin his job he got a Sensor and it was of Planes so he called the Commadar and the Commadar said that they were expecting people to come in and give them resources. Only if the Commadar would have known that it wasnt the resources that it was the Japanese then this would have never went to happen.
The Japanese Had many plans and here is some that the Japanese had followed through with. They came in Oahu with 2 waves of fighter planes coming in at the south, southwest, and the north which would confuse the Americans and wouldnt know what to do with the firearm or any thing to use to shot down the planes. .
The Japanese wanted to catch America Offguard so that they wouldnt know what came at them at the time. That was unfair to the Americans because they would be at Church at the time thinking about their families and what they were getting their families for christmas. They wanted to show the world that if they catch America offguard then they could win the war and then they would be defeated and Japan wanted to show for in the war to show that they were stronger then America. .
During the Bombing was a very horriable sight. The first attack was when the army and the navy were in church and thinking about how much they missed their families at home. They were all wondering what the bombing sound was. They could here the fighter planes many miles away. They thought it was the United States fighter planes practiceing waiting for the Japanese.
