The most grievous losses were among the crew of USS Arizona, where 1,177 Sailors and Marines were killed - accounting for nearly half of the Americans killed in the attack. A crane operator aboard Arizona, Ken Potts heard the whine of the Japanese planes above as they began their attack just before 8 AM. After an armor piercing bomb ignited one million pounds of explosives stored inside Arizona, Potts and his fellow survivors abandoned ship, traversing the flame-filled harbor in a transport craft and pulling men to safety. They made their way to Ford Island, where they would regroup for the remainder of the battle, and for the war to come. This interview was conducted on November 20, 2020. As of this date, Ken Potts is one of two survivors of the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Please like and share this video, a testament to the Americans lost at Pearl Harbor, and those who sacrificed their lives to achieve victory in the Second World War. #PearlHarbor #WorldWarII #GreatestGeneration Ken Potts passed away on April 21, 2023.
