Pearl Harbor?
Just before 8am on December 7, 1941, Japanese fighter planes attacked the naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The attack lasted only two hours, but was devastating. They managed to destroy eight enormous battleships, and almost 200 airplanes. More than 2,000 US soldiers died in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. We officially entered World War II. ChaCha!

Why were the dead not removed? Initially, about 105 bodies were removed, but because the ship was never raised, the remainder could not. The priority at that time was salvage of ships that could be repaired -- the Arizona was not in that category. As a result, the bodies deteriorated to the point of not being identifiable. ChaCha!
