The attack on Pearl Harbor
was a pre-emptive military strike on the
United States Pacific Fleet base at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii |
|
|
by the Empire of Japan's Imperial Japanese Navy, on the morning
of Sunday, December 7, 1941 that made the United States enter
World War II. Two aerial attack waves, totaling 350
aircraft, were launched from six aircraft carriers with the
intent to destroy the United States Pacific Fleet.
The attack
wrecked two U.S. Navy battleships, one minelayer, and two
destroyers beyond repair, and destroyed 188 aircraft;
personnel losses were 2,333 killed and 1,139 wounded. Damaged
warships included three cruisers, a destroyer, and six
battleships (one deliberately grounded, later refloated and
repaired; two sunk at their berths, later raised, repaired, and
restored to Fleet service late in the war)President
Roosevelt delivered his "Day of Infamy" speech to a joint
session of Congress on December 8, 1941.

Transition - February 17, 2009 |

Television will go all digital,
Imagine mornings without Sesame Street or Curious George. Imagine evenings without NewsHour, Antiques Roadshow or Charlie Rose.

On February 17, most broadcasters throughout the United States will be required to shut down their analog transmitters. If your family has not “gone digital” by then, your TV will not pick up your favorite Vegas PBS shows, the news, sports or anything else!
