  1. #7? Oil leaks at Pearl Harbor? Are you f’ing kidding me? That’s so small as to be non existent. Oil is food to bacteria and such a small amount at Peal Harbor would be almost impossible to measure, yet you claim it’s #7. You are obviously throwing in a political issue that has no baring on anything what so ever….”Mother Earth” made the oil and having it moved to a different location doesn’t bother her one iota.

  6. I think you’ll have put the fact that a Allen Turing and his team knew the pears harbour was going to happen was it a few days before it happened, to keep it secret from the Germans that they had broken the egnigma code.

  8. the aircraft carrier and most of the destroyers weren’t there when they came to attack so they didn’t destroy most of their boats and they managed to repair most of the damaged ones

  10. Survivors of the Arizona have the option of being buried with their fellow SAILORS….not their fellow soldiers as stated at the 8:01 mark. If you are going to do history videos, learn the difference between soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.
