What are the key events on the pearl Harbor?

Answer 1

At approximately 6:30 an enemy sub was seen entering Pearl Harbor it was shot at and sunk. The telegram that reported the event did not mention sinking the sub and it was encoded. At 7:55 the first torpedo is dropped hitting the Oklahoma causing the ship to capsize and sink, shortly after the Utah was hit by 3 torpedoes, and within approximately 15 minutes the Arizona is hit by 8 bombs. One of which landed in 1075 pounds of gunpowder. When the bomb ignited the powder they blew a hole in an 8 inch wall of steel that separated the powder from the bombs on board. That combination is what blew the Arizona nearly in half sinking the ship. In that 15 minutes nearly 1800 men were lost. In the next 95 minutes the airstrips, hospital and barracks were shot at. There were 2 waves of planes that attacked Pearl Harbor, most of the major damage done by the first wave. The second wave came after the US sailors were able to get weapons and start fighting back. 110 minutes after it started the attackers left and efforts to rescue trapped sailors began.
