are you going bald? no..?! well.. uh.. use keeps to uh continue not going bald lol

@@recharge6696 hey checkout The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You will find your answer

Thank you for your videos. They are always so well-done and I love your animations! Cute, humorous when appropriate, and always so informative. Much love!

Thank you.. 👍😼😸

Joseph Stalin Knew about the atomic bomb before Vice President Harry S Truman due to soviet spies throughout the US government including The White House.

He sure did a Man's Job there!

The highest thanks for Him!

That warms my heart, taking care of someone's name after they've passed is something not anyone would put effort in doing. I can't imagine what the captain had to go through, if there is any form of afterlife I hope he can finally rest in peace.

That kid is quite something indeed. A man of honor.

That kid had awesome researching skills! I wonder what he did after that?

I’m sure they got promoted…

lol

He mentioned in the video that only 40 years later the declassified documents revealed that they actually received the distress signal and nothing happened of them, until then they told everyone that the ship couldn't send a distress signal coz the radio equipment was damaged,so not only they never punished those officers,they actively hid the fact that they actually received a distress signal.Pure corruption in the entire chain of command hidden behind the bravery of the soldiers and their families who actually suffered because of the war .

Arbitrariness in the circles of higher-ups, be it officials, the military, and the like, is like an annoying infection in the history of most peoples, leaving its outrageous mark. Although the problem here...mainly lies in people who most often believe that they are above their conscience when they reach high positions. The harsh truth of life, bro 😮‍💨

True enough, a Court Marshall would have been in order but when a ship like that is 4 days or so late to port, someone should have noticed

lol

Lulz.

I find them to be useful idiots for the powerful elits.we don't have to have these wars if people were actually educated and knew the truth.

OH WELL 😅

​@@paulbowman1762?

So what happened to the Drunk, the Do Not Disturb Jerk, and The It Might Be A Japanese Ruse Clueless? Were they rightly made Permanent Latrine Orderlies? Given permanent shovel-out the horse stalls for the Cavalry? Something worse, hopefully?

This is standard operating procedure for the Navy.

There should be no statute of limitations on bigheaded brass that thinks other Americans lives didn’t matter

The survivors fed the dead to sharks. It was horrific.

🗿🍷

It's giving back to nature.

@@van3158 I actually was thinking the number of dead attributed to sharks seemed rather low. Using already dead bodies to distract them away from the living would explain it to some extent.

Pretty cool to survive that tho

"The troops on both sides are the same" Yes, they are a bunch of strangers, who mistakenly believe that they are part of a nation and a shared destiny. In truth, their societies are merely imposed communities where each person is shackled by an artificial system that goes against our natural instincts and biology nature. They are system-slaves.

I have a question if your teacher's father was sitting in the mess hall. Yet he was given leave before the last voyage so wasn't on the ship. Isn't this a contradiction? Either your on board or not there is nothing in between.

@@ltejano7512 nope, when the bomb went through the mess hall, the ship had to return to port to be repaired. That is when her dad was given leave.

@@zack7736 OK, thanks. So he was not on board for the final mission.

@@ltejano7512 They were two separate events. The Kamikaze-bomb that struck the ship was not the impact that caused the ship to sink. That was an attack by a Japanese submarine 5 months later.

No one cares

@@itsFETTT You care enough to comment

We're in the Same dark club.

I've read a lot that survivors didn't talk about the experience and who can blame them? It's one of the scariest, taxing (mind and body) and horrendous positions someone could ever be in.

Cap

lol

It was an unimaginable horror.

Chair force

I was on a frigate when it got attacked by a gray whale. Did not do the whale much good. Also did not do the sonar dome much good. Cracked and bent the propeller and bent the shaft strut. 3 days after the ship got out the yard from a major overhaul.

I paused & inlarged the letters & it brought tears. My dad was in that war, in the army. He Never talked about it even when asked. His answer when asked what did you do in the war, was always "peeled potatoes", Done! He did say he was in the motor pool (whatever that is) I guess war is not something to talk about😢

hootus pootus is that you? (darrenjames)

That trauma went deep.

a very striking sentence

🗿🍷

He was on the Indianapolis? Tell us what he said. You can't just say that and not tell us

​@@SpaceRanger187 That's a silly statement. It's common for war vets to not talk about their time in the war with family at all. My great grandfather was a POW in WWII and he was in that group. Can't blame them for not wanting to speak of those times. I imagine it wouldn't be a stretch for a survivor from a Naval wreck to be similar. It's pretty fucked to push for stories that aren't freely given involving PTSD enducing FUBAR situations.

@@ihateusernamesgrrr Beat me to it.

@@ihateusernamesgrrr At no point did he say his grandpa didn't want to talk about it..I love how internet people think they are so smart and know everything about everyone off of one sentence online.

I used to immediately discount things like this as weird coincidences, but not anymore... everything our government does or doesn't do should be questioned.

I was surprised to find myself getting hit in the feels several times too. It's very emotional. 😥 I knew a bit "about" the story, but almost none of the significant details. It seriously makes me think about trying to write a screenplay... there's at LEAST three stories to be told at length here. 😳

@@DaellusKnights Give it a go. Creativity is always a good thing and the stories here shouldn't ever be forgotten. I'm not sure, but I do think a movie was made of the tragedy a very long time ago, '50s? 60s?. I learned of the story when I was in high school and I'm 71 now. I was appalled at the way the whole thing played out, the waste of life in war, the ship going down, and the horror of the shark attacks, being reduced to being shark bait because of inept leadership and communication. What is so horrifying for me is that I can imagine being there, being part of it, in the water, being eaten alive and bleeding out after waiting for rescue and none coming, watching the men I served with being taken in a multitude of ways and it finally being my turn. I don't know how, but somehow I feel deeply connected to this particular naval tragedy. Past life maybe, if reincarnation is a real thing? Who knows? I sure don't. Do your damnedest. I'd love to see your work on the screen or at least in a play.

@@Dragonalynn sadly, I'm notoriously bad at finishing things I start... I'm a dabbler. 😅 I'm 47, but I used to write extensively and this is kinda waking up that old itch. I already have three stories in my head: 1) the story from the soldiers'/boat's point of view, 2) separately just an extended retelling of the plane pilot's part in the rescue, 3) a flashback retelling from the kid's point of view as he learns the story and so on Oh! 4) a sightly fictionalized flashback of the two survivors contacting each other and telling the story through their recollection Ohmywow... This thing has really taken up free rent in my head 😂

@@Dragonalynn also, just found out the 2016 movie Men of Courage is actually about this. I love Nick Cage but that is just the WRONG choice 😱🤣 Gonna watch it anyway

@@Dragonalynn and apparently, Roger Ebert agrees with me 😂

The Captain's tale is unfortunately not unique, either. Look up the tragic story behind The Monkees' song "Admiral Mike", for instance...

The war wasn’t over when this happened. The Japanese were doing their duty to their country.

That's called skin-slip. Degloving, if you will.

Especially after he just had that 3some with Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt. Crazy

It's getting kinda old

Everyone in the cinema cheered at that part.

@@agentperry8347it’s the first time I’ve ever heard it so get oppenheimered loser

It made my heart warm seeing the Morbius memes are still going

My grandfather served on Australian escoort ships escorting larger US ships to and from Hawaii - from Asian waters. It was a highly dangerous job, he was a gunner, and its they were always the first specific target on a ship for any japanese planes coming their way. He did not return with many mates, and never talked about it.

@@roxannlegg750my uncle died on an Australian warship during Vietnam. He was a gunner- one of two only killed as yes, they were targeted.

I would think the danger reason would be more like it sounding like a seal's flipper slapping the surface. I wouldn't think fish would regularly flop to the surface to die. But, yeah, it was definitely a stupid thing to teach, like climbing a tree to escape bears.

​@@SgtSupamanin those waters, there are actually jumping fish.

It's my understanding that Robert Shaw himself wrote the narrative for that part of the script, because he knew the story very well (not sure why). Spielberg was so awe-struck by the presentation, it only took one take to nail it. Apparently, Dreyfuss and Schneider asked for a time out after Shaw did his spiel, because the story upset them so much they couldn't remember their lines following.

I concur. Slighty-Hollywooded by the "no distress signal" bit, but it is one of the greatest scenes in all of American cinema. The biggest problem of it was it made it seem everyone who died died from a shark, which simply is not true

And decades later they keep the tradition of throwing soldiers lives away by negligence as soon as they aren’t needed anymore very much strong.

Why were the 3 captains not punished for neglectful duty? To punish the captain for enemy attack was negligence!

Tragedies are allways caused by human failures and errors. Therefor I think we should stop planning to colonise the universe. Only with robots. Not with real people. There is way too much failing in every branch.

Spielberg needs to make it, call it “Jaws: Indianapolis” with a young Quint as the main character.

@@steveschritz1823 check out this movie

@@steveschritz1823 or maybe Scorsese, one last great one before he ages out 😅 But seriously, I've written in the past... I'm kinda getting the notion to start researching and see if there's a screenplay somewhere in my head

There is one. I think it got forgotten because it stars Nicolas Cage.

@@steveschritz1823 I came up with exactly the same idea, independently, four hours after you posted. My acknowledgments to you, sir.

The things one learns during Shark Week.

Tiger and White Tip tsharks are counted in numerous shark attacks in low visibility water where they take a "test bite" to check what the victim is. These test bit often result in the victim bleeding out, even if the victim isn't eventually consumed.

​@@davidanderson2357 I think "Shark bytes" is more trustworthy.

Marks. McVay.

@@davidanderson2357 Groucho. Christine

It?

yep

lol

I guess you said it, "dose" people were dozing.

In a war zone? It's horrible, but not insupportable in context.

It was the 40s man

and if you add up the Japanese fatalities, from the massacre that followed, it truly was a tragic event.

@@bq4454 The japanese kinda asked for it.. though I dont ever want innocent civilians killed. Their government chose to poke a bear you dont poke.

@@bq4454 invading Japan would have cost a lot of American lives.
