Kermit A. Tyler dies at 96; officer didn't act on radar warning about Pearl Harbor raid.
He told radar operators 'Don't worry about it' after they reported an unusually large 'blip' on their screen.

"I wake up at nights sometimes and think about it," Tyler said in a 2007 interview with the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J. "But I don't feel guilty. I did all I could that morning."

hmm, sounds like he does did feel guilty.
