On that Sunday afternoon, as news of the attack spread across US airwaves, thousands of USS Arizona families gathered together in their homes--crowded into their living rooms, radios tuned in with the hopes of hearing word that their loved one had been spared.

Those anti-aircraft shells didn't always hit their target. Sometimes they missed. Sometimes they barreled through the sky past the plane they’d been destined for and continued inland, unable to be stopped, and they landed wherever their trajectory would take them. --- Music: String Impromptu Number 1 Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) (slowed 17%) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ --- http://facebook.com/omittedpocast http://instagram.com/omittedpodcast

The island is kapu (forbidden) to outsiders, and the events that followed served only to substantiate that policy. --- Music: Garden Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Let's go back in time, before Pearl Harbor was ever called "Pearl." Before white colonists ever called the island "home." To a time when shark gods still protected Hawai'i and looked out for the people who lived on the 'āina. This is the story of Pu'uloa.
