Shocked and off-balance, NBC follows up on the above report with a live remote from Honolulu via telephone. An operator interrupts the call, and while waiting to reestablish contact, news shifts to Washington D.C. and continues on to bulletins from Honolulu, Washington, Berlin, San Francsico and Ottawa.
