Pearl Harbor was a tragically attacked at 7:55 am on December 7th, 1941 and it happened in two waves almost 45 minutes apart. The attack was documented by people with cameras, but shots like this are rare because of how intimate the setting is. The photographer was right in the middle of the front-line, with two others who seem to be in shock, as many of us would. The attack lasted around 110 minutes, which would have seemed like an eternity to those who were there. Over 2,000 Americans lost their lives that day and pictures like this keep their memory alive.
