I had no idea live amateur video of the attack on Pearl Harbour existed. A couple named Harold and Eda Oberg filmed footage of the attack at the Hickman Army airfield in 1942. They used a Revere model 8 video recorder.
Two weeks later they were filming around their house, before they evacuated. It appeared as though nothing happened. Harold died young in 1960.. Eda would remarry and live another 54 years after the attacks.
You can read about their first hand account in the The Bakersfield Californian… It’s an image of the actual newspaper clipping. You can read it @ “Former Bakersfield Woman Evacuee in Hawaii following Harbor Attack”
