CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – An inspector stands in the Launch Pad 39A flame trench at NASA's Kennedy Space Center after tests of the repairs on the wall. Workers sprayed a heat-resistant concrete called Fondue Fyre into steel grid structures, welded to the wall of the flame trench. Fondue Fyre was developed during NASA's Apollo lunar program. Damage to the trench occurred during the launch of space shuttle Discovery on the STS-124 mission. A 75-foot by 20-foot section of the east wall was destroyed and debris scattered as far as the pad perimeter fence. Repairs being completed before the targeted Oct. 8 launch of Atlantis on the NASA Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-08pd2375

Pearl Harbor bombing. After the fire. Battered by aerial torpedoes and bomb hits, the 31,800 ton USS West Virginia (nearest ship) rests on the bottom of Pearl Harbor. Fire following the explosions as well as oil flames from the nearby sunken USS Arizona added extensively to the damage. Noted the wrecked scout plane topside of gun turret at right and the overturned plane in the right hand corner. The battleship USS Tennessee is in the background

To the left is the 10,000 ton cruiser, USS Helena, struck by an aerial torpedo on the starboard side. The concussion caused the Oglala, formerly berthed alongside the Helena to flood and she turned over after being brought to dock.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, in the Territory of Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II. Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time. The base was attacked by 353 Imperial Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged. 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded.
