This photo was in National Geographic Magazine. It was taken at Pearl Harbor. The American shipyard workers in the car were killed by errant shells fired from American naval anti-aircraft guns trying to shoot down Japanese planes. The caption under the photo read "Friendly Fire."

"Beloved, let us love one another..." 1 John 3:7
