On December 07, 1941 at about 7:55 the Japanese decided to attack United States taking place at Pearl Harbor. Today I interviewed Anthony Ramirez. Anthony is many of the few people who survived this devastating yet surprising attack from the Japanese. I asked Anthony how it felt being there and his response to my question was that it felt like hell. Anthony said that the sky was full with airplanes, he said that there was people dying from left to right, and he heard people yelling for help but also saw many of his friend’s dead. He said that once the Japanese decided to attack, they had no protection and many people died looking for protection but also died while trying to fight back. Anthony also stated that this surprising attack lasted for about 2 hours. The estimated outcome of American deaths were to at least 2,000 with 1,272 men wounded and about 960 men went missing. Anthony also said that after this attack at Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor was left a disaster. Anthony then told me that after this surprising attack he said that the next day (December 08) United States decided to enter World War 2 and declared war on the empire of Japanese. This gave the United States time to get all the supplies they need and also the get prepared.
