Harry Chandler, Navy medic who survived Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, dies at 103

A Navy medic who helped pull injured sailors from the oily waters of Pearl Harbor after the 1941 Japanese attack on the naval base has died at the age of 103. Harry Chandler's family says he died at a senior living center in Tequesta, Florida on Monday. He had congestive heart failure but his doctors and nurses noted his advanced age when giving a cause of death. Chandler was a hospital corpsman 3rd Class when waves of Japanese fighter planes dropped bombs and fired machine guns on battleships in the harbor. He first thought the aircraft were American planes flying from the U.S. mainland until they started releasing munitions.
