It looked better before skyscrapers

[@hebneh]

No more sugar fields, no more pineapple canneries. No more Aloha Airlines. No more old Hilo Airport or old Honolulu Airport.
And the Bright kids are definitely not kids anymore. They're nearing 60 or have passed it.

That film actually came out in cinemas everywhere in the country.

[@tripoddi]

Hawaii became a state on August 21, 1959 and not July 4 as the narrator states.

[@jacksonesq9992]

@@GulfIslandRock Wrong. They made many choices that led to their destruction. They’re far from being pure victims, contrary to the propaganda you’ve swallowed.
