But as Oishi and the rest of his crew were kind of staring out to the west, which was all dark at this point, Oishi thought, you know, there's no way this could have been an atomic bomb. Number one, World War II is over, so there's no reason a bomb would get dropped again.

And two, when those atomic bombs were dropped on Japan nine years earlier, it vaporized basically everything and everyone in its path. And so for them to be this close to these huge lights, you know, if that were an atomic bomb, wouldn't they too be vaporized? Like they would not be able to see that and live.

And so Oishi began to tell himself, you know, okay, it probably was not a volcano eruption. It probably was not an atomic bomb. I don't know what it was, but we're okay. And while many of the other people on board the ship felt the same way Oishi did, very quickly the call came out amongst the crew to just go ahead and bring in the lines right now.

We don't know what these lights were, but we need to head back to port back in Yaezu, Japan. And so quickly, Oishi and the rest of the crew got to work pulling these lines in and prepping the boat to head back to port. And then at some point after Oishi had done what he was supposed to do, he began walking his way down below to the galley to get some food. But when Oishi was about halfway,

he suddenly heard this deafening explosion outside coming from the west where these lights had been. And immediately, Oishi just jumped onto the ground, covering his head, thinking that was gonna protect him. And as he's laying there listening to this unbelievable exploding sound, he's thinking, oh my gosh, one of those volcanoes under the Marshall Islands has indeed erupted.

That's what's happening. And any minute now, a giant tsunami wave from this eruption is gonna flip us over. We're gonna get killed here. And so Awishi, as this massive exploding sound is going on, he jumps to his feet and he runs upstairs and he finds the majority of the crew that was still up there had jumped to the ground and they were just kind of protecting themselves.

A couple braver crew members had stood up and were kind of looking out towards the west to see if they could see what was going on, but there were no lights now. It was just these crazy loud exploding sounds coming from the west. And then suddenly all the sound stopped and Oishi and the crew at that point braced for what they believed was this inevitable tsunami wave that was going to hit them.

But the weird thing was, is after the exploding sound stopped, everything was totally calm. In fact, Oishi glanced over the edge of the boat and he saw the water was totally placid, more calm than normal. And after a few more minutes went by and no massive tsunami wiped them all out, the crew was like, what's going on here?
