Because he was like, I couldn't really, like my eyes were so blurry and everything. I couldn't see. He's like, is it a bird? And they all squinted. They couldn't really make it out. And Morgan had just opened up his mouth to be like, yeah, it's a bird. When Lantern interrupted him and said, that's a fucking plane.

No, all the men in the rafts and many more in the water started shouting because they're not giving up. Like if they see something, they're going to try. Of course. And they're all, and it's like their voices must have been so strained and harsh and like. They had no water. Just cotton mouths and dry throats and just like, and have been screaming for four days essentially. Nope.

The amount of oil and the size of the crew in the water suggested to him that his ship had gone down. But Gwyn hadn't heard of any ship sinking. Because nobody knew. So he was like, this doesn't make sense. But he was like, regardless of how they got there, they were clearly in trouble.

So he ordered the bay doors opened again and he started dropping the life raft and every life jacket they had on the plane and a buoy and all the buoys they had on board down to them to at least start the process. Like here, here's what we have. Gonna need more manpower, but at least here's this.

When he'd done that, he ran back to the cockpit and got on the radio to report many men in the water at that, at those coordinates. Yeah. Now, his antenna is broken, remember? So his message back to base came through really badly garbled, sounding like am circling life raft, but that's all that technicians could really make out.

Fortunately, the closer they got, the more Gwyn and the flight crew began to understand the scope of what they were seeing, and he returned to the radio to make additional reports, which were better received, luckily. But at first it was like, are you kidding me?

The communications staff moved quickly to set the rescue operation in motion, and they launched amphibian rescue vessels that, if they made good time, could reach the men in about three hours. But then they're also still in enemy water, and those can be hit by torpedoes. Exactly. I'm fucking terrified. And now a lot of attention is being put on this scene, so they're getting even scarier.

At that time, the Cecil J. Doyle, a U.S. Navy destroyer escort, was cruising about 50 miles off the coast of Palau. Which is like a badass decision. Hell yeah. Yeah. Although the official order came through to the crew of the Doyle an hour and a half later, according to one report, it is not possible to say how many lives Clayton's stolen 90 minutes saved. Wow. So, like, good on him.

For several hours that morning. Yeah. Seaman First Class Dick Thielen, who it gives some interviews to that you can watch, and they're very fascinating. He had been drifting away from the larger group in the water. And then in late morning, he heard the sound of what he would later learn was Mark's plane flying overhead.

Thielen watched with absolute astonishment as the cargo bay doors opened and the plane dropped a lifeboat about 50 yards from where he was floating. He said he called out to the three other men nearby and they all started swimming towards the raft and were probably, I can't imagine the elation.
