On the evening of February 24, 1942, an anti-aircraft barrage of more  than 1,440 rounds is launched at what is initially thought to be a  Japanese aerial attack on the City of Angels. Five civilians die – three  from traffic accidents spawned by the chaos and two from heart attacks. What, if anything, is being fired upon remains a mystery. Theories  include weather balloons, UFOs, birds, or just jitters by Angelenos with  Pearl Harbor still a fresh memory and, even fresher, a Japanese  submarine torpedoing a Santa Barbara oil field on February 23. Regardless of cause, air raid sirens first blare at 7:18 p.m.  Thousands of air raid wardens go to their posts throughout Los Angeles  County. That alert is lifted at 10:23 p.m. Tensions ease. Then, after  midnight, all hell breaks loose.
