The images which follow, capture some of the events that occurred on that fateful day. But photos fail to capture the courage, the bravery, the self-sacrifice, along with the horror and panic that greeted the island's inhabitants on that sleepy Sunday in December 1941. Nor can photos begin to show the suffering felt by the loss of friends and colleagues and the shock and dread that seized the nation. As we reflect upon the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the images of that terrible day, so too view these images from six decades before with an appreciation that snapshots in time still fail to capture the emotions and bravery of those who were a part of the event.
