Ed Chlapowski, the man who notified the world that Pearl Harbor was being bombed by the Japanese, has died. He was 88. In 2009, Chlapowski recounted the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Hawaii that propelled the United States into World War II. He said he had worked an early watch (3am to 7am shift) at the submarine base on Oahu, had breakfast and had just sat down on his bunk when he looked out the window and noticed a hangar roof blown away. Then he saw the Japanese planes. He ran to the radio room. A supervisor handed him a message, and in Morse code, he sent out word that Pearl Harbor was under attack, "This is no drill."
