POTTED
Pearl Harbor survivor Ken Potts has died aged 102. He was among the sailors aboard the USS Arizona amidst Japan’s offence. The 1,177 deaths on the Arizona accounted for about half of Pearl Harbor’s casualties and, eighty years later, Potts still vividly recounted his harrowing experiences on the date that lives in infamy: the ship exploding, hurriedly helping other sailors escape, and later salvaging corpses from the wreckage. His death leaves Lou Conter the last survivor of the USS Arizona attack, and sinks in a unique hit for Mass Hole Cemetery.
