Why Did This Attack Have Such A Devastating Impact? (WW2 Documentary)

Shortly before 8am on 7th December 1941 the residents of the Hawaiian Island of Oahu were jolted awake by explosions as Japanese aircraft roared overhead. Unknown to them, a huge aircraft carrier strike force had approached from the north and in two waves would bomb airfields and warships across the Island and at Anchor in the major naval base at Pearl Harbor. By the time it was over, just two hours later, more than 2400 men lay dead, the Harbor was engulfed in flames, and for the Americans at least, WW2 had begun. This is that story.
