My mother once told me a story.after Pearl Harbor the Canal Zone was on high state of alert.an air raid siren was on Ancon hill facing a big megaphone? she said somebody who dint know what that was for.started cranking the siren.this was amplified.and all hell broke loose.men rushed to their anticraft positions,started firing in the air the Navy ships in the harbor rushing to get underway.in Panama City panic.they tought the enemy was attacking Panama.i wonder if that was urban legend?.
