Honolulu after Pearl Harbor: A report published for the first time 71 years later:

For the first time, I felt that numb terror that all of London has known for months. It is the terror of not being able to do anything but fall on your stomach and hope the bomb won’t land on you. It’s the helplessness and terror of sudden visions of a ripping sensation in your back, shrapnel coursing through your chest, total blackness, maybe death.

(Via MeFi)

And London reminds me that if you haven't seen Bomb Sight: A map of bombings in London, you should.
