A Comparison of the Attack on Pearl Harbor and the Terroist Attacks of September 11th, 2001

The fleet commander broadcasted "TORA.TORA.TORA!" To his crew on the radio. (Pearl Harbor Movie) The instant bomb fell into a shallow sea of ​​Hawaii. The bomb fell on our ship and our naval base was destroyed. Obviously, the Japanese does not show sympathy. Within five minutes of the attack, US military officials began attacking the Japanese. (Pearl Harbor Movie) Because the Japanese army destroyed many warships, we are in a disadvantageous position.

Comparison with Pearl Harbor on 11th September 2001 also failed in several respects. First, Pearl Harbor is a military target attack. The September 11 attack targeted innocent nonarmed civilians. Comparing the two, this is definitely a big difference. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, they were able to raise an airplane to counter the Japanese attacker. And on September 11th attack, I did not have much time to prevent attacks. Another difference is that on December 7 Americans at Pearl Harbor base watched the airplane flying over the sea and they saw a big meatball on the side of the place (this is the red dot of the Japanese flag) I noticed. People knew what was going on when they saw these planes coming, especially when they knew about the Japanese plane that was moving for them. This is another reason why this is classified as a difference between 12/7/41 and 9/11/1

Last week 's attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon frequently caused the hint that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941. This comparison is appropriate. In either case, an unfair attack can kill thousands of people in the United States and cause fear and anger. Like in 1941, this case unified the Americans and called for military action. Politicians and journalists began to describe Franklin Roosevelt as "shamefully living new day" on September 11, 2001.

Sixty years ago, many Americans compared the World Trade Center and Pentagon 's terrorist attack with Pearl Harbor' s bombing. For us who witnessed the Pearl Harbor attack on personal experience and then saw the incident on September 11, this should be the case. Images of aircraft colliding with high-rise buildings and buildings must resemble those of aircraft colliding with Pearl Harbor vessels. This comparison is the most accurate comparison. For us who have not experienced Pearl Harbor, on September 11 your country is attacked and thousands of people are killed, so you can feel this terrible emptiness.
