An error affects the critical moment of silence at Pearl Harbor ceremony Wednesday the 70th anniversary observation of the Japanese attack.
Each year, beginning the tradition calls for minute's silence, you hear a whistle with the ship. Tranquility is interrupted when military aircraft fly over the USS Arizona Memorial in the formation of a missing person.
Time is limited at the moment of silence begins exactly at 07.55 clock choreography - when Japanese planes bombing the port began on December 7, 1941. But on Wednesday, Leslie Wilcox was emcee still speaking clock in 7.55, and Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 roared overhead in schedule 42 seconds later.
At the moment of silence was held for a few minutes later, just before 08:00 clock
It was obvious to those who have participated in celebrating something, but some in the audience noticed it first.
It is unclear why the ceremony that began at the time finally ran behind schedule.
Hawaii National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Charles Anthony, told the Guardian is flying in formation with a missing person during the annual Pearl Harbor ceremony at least 30 years, and a timetable for the transfer of the second.
"Our task is over the top at 7:55 and 42 seconds, which we did," said Anthony. "We have this thing wired."
Anthony said that the incident will be reviewed, but he must know what level or what degree of formality.
Wilcox is a former TV anchor and current president of PBS Hawaii.
