I wonder.

I wonder.

Yeah, because that just, something about that just shook me to my core. I could not, I was like, I can't wait to tell you what the sonar picked up on.

And so they had been silent. And this gives me chills. They had been silently stalking the ship for miles. Oh. Just trying to get close enough to strike.

Like they have more technology now. I don't know exactly what they had back then to... And again, they're six miles away. Right. Like they're six miles away. That's a lot of distance.

So at 12.04 a.m., so a little past midnight, the I-58 finally caught up to the Indianapolis and Hashimoto gave the order to fire six torpedoes into the hull. Two of them hit the mark. McVeigh said, I was thrown from my emergency cabin bunk on the bridge by a very violent explosion followed shortly thereafter by another explosion.

McVeigh said, I was thrown from my emergency cabin bunk on the bridge by a very violent explosion followed shortly thereafter by another explosion.

He said, I went to the bridge and noticed in my emergency cabin and chart house that there was quite a bit of acrid white smoke. I couldn't see anything. The first torpedo that hit the Indianapolis killed dozens of men immediately and sent a violent shockwave through the entire ship and smoke started filling the corridors.

When he finally made it onto the bridge, Captain McVeigh learned that the officer on deck had tried to contact the engine room to tell them to cut the engines, but the torpedo blast had taken out the communication system and he couldn't get through. So as the two men are talking on the bridge, the second torpedo struck the side of the ship.

And it was a little further from the bow than the first torpedo. The first hit had knocked the bow of the massive ship leftward and ripped it at one of the seams, which left a large opening in the hull.

The second had kind of like a little bit of the same effect. It tore a large hole in the side of the ship. Okay. Now, with the bow of the ship effectively sheared off and the engines still running, the wreck of the Indianapolis is still being driven forward through the water. Oh, my God. Filling the corridors below deck with water.
