    Anybody catch the "Pearl Harbor: 24 hours after" documentary ?

    I saw it last night on the History channel. Really well done. Contained lots of info I had never heard about. I highly recommend it if it is going to be shown again. It was the first time I had heard the whole text of FDRs speech to Congress asking for the war declaration.

    I saw most of it; will definitely watch it again and more closely next time. I was doing something else and half watching/listening and I missed a lot of the graphics on the screen. Pretty detailed info about how determined he was to walk into Congress and how he managed to do it.

    Yep - watched it twice actually. It was on @ it's normal time, then repeated later - like 12:00am or something.
    It changed my opinion of FDR quite a bit.
    Good show. Worth watching.

    I saw it. One screw-up on top of another led to the demise of our ships, and men.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    Excellent production, I hope anyone interested in history at all gets a chance to watch this.

    They will play this again I'm almost certain, but it might be months and it might not be until around Dec 7th next year. I forgot to set my DVR to record this on Saturday.
