did anybody survive pearl harbor?

Answer 1

Absolutely. the most grievous, and extensive, losses among the ships sunk were on the Arizona. The toll for the arizona was 1,103 out of 1,400 onboard. American casualties were 2403 dead and 1178 wounded. Little talked about is the fact that the Japanese bombers also hit Schoffield Barracks, the Army base on Oahu.

Answer 2

Most people did!

Perhaps you are confusing a military battle in which most people survived, and in fact, most people were not even injured, to what happens in a situation like the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the fire-bombing of Tokyo or Dresden. Yet even in these horrendous situations, in which twenty to a hundred times as many people dies than at Pearl Harbor, even then, most people living in those cities, in different parts, survived.

Perhaps a better question would be, did anyone on the battleship Arizona survive? (yes, but well over a thousand people on that one ship did not)

Answer 3

A lot of people survived it, but more than 2,400 people died. For more information, check with "Pearl Harbor Survivors Association".

Answer 4

yes, there were many survivors--in fact there were more killed at 9/11 than at Pearl Harbor

Answer 5

Only a small percentage of our forces on the Haywain island were killed. The loss in material was great however. Our fleet was significantly reduced, and hundreds of aircraft were lost. It was a major defeat.
