The first major explosion following the impact of the Kamikaze aircraft has created a fireball that has risen to about 300 feet above the flight deck.

After doing extensive research on this particular event, and failed to locate a source to support this, could you please direct me to your verifiable source that this particular photgraph indeed captured the first major explosion?

The largest object above that fireball is the aft aircraft elevator, which was hurled to a height of about 1,000 feet by this first explosion.

Again, same question. How do you know this to be true? In this case, however, how could you possibly with any modicum of accuracy even attempt to claim to have identified specific parts of the vessel within it's airborne debris field?

My point, by now, is obvious. You cannot speculate no matter how tempting that might be. This is an actual event. Non-Fiction. Let's try and treat historical with the historical accuracy they deserve. five 23:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
