I just finished watching it also, after taping it last night. Very interesting show. I liked the part about "sinking" a crane and a bus! Reminds me of Operation Petticoat, "we just sank a TRUCK!" 
If my satellite provider ever comes through with the software update they've been promising I'll be able to transfer from my DVDR to my computer and burn this on DVD for anybody who wants it.

Aw Kenny,
We won't use your whole skin, just enough for a memo pad cover we could give to you as a present to yourself! 
   
   
   
   
   
 
All joking aside. Thanks for the heads up.
It was a great show.

Rodger,
If that software update comes through I'd buy a copy from you. Wish my sat provider had software like that(dish network).

I wish I would have recorded it.  The program about the fire at Pearl on 7 Dec, 1944 came on after it too.

The Pearl Harbor Fire program was excellent as well.
Nice thing about the History Channel is that they will
cycle through their programs and it will be on again in the not to distant future.
Thank goodness.
