Pearl harbor was one of the most shocking events of the twentieth century. It sparked us into joining World War II and stopped our isolationist stature from earlier in the war. Just before this picture was taken Japanese bombers dropped multiple bombs on the naval base Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. Outside of the picture we were combating several fires from other explosions. The people taking the photo were horrified because not only did many die but we were completely unprepared for the attack. What made me think of this picture was the explosion in the picture of the twin towers.
