Today is the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japanese war planes, an act that pushed the United States into World War II. Much of the U.S. fleet in Hawaii was destroyed and 2,402 Americans were killed. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously called Dec. 7 "a date which will live in infamy."
