Nearly half of the dead from the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 were aboard the battleship USS Arizona. Shortly after the start of the attack, a Japanese bomb penetrated the forward deck plating and exploded inside the magazine, the place where explosives are stored. The Arizona was immediately destroyed and sank. It's still there, on the bottom of Pearl Harbor.

All who didn't die, did survive. Think about that for a minute. Now, the world population in 1941 was around 2.5 billion people. There were 2,402 killed in the attack. So, an estimated 2,999,997,598 people survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. This can't be any more accurate than that; world population can only be estimated.
