The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis (Anatomy of a Disaster I)
Manage episode 301365881 series 2977249
Once the crown jewel of the U.S. Naval fleet, the USS Indianapolis, was sent on a secret mission—to deliver the parts for the first atomic bomb. However, her return trip was tragically cut short when two torpedoes struck her hull and sank the vessel in just twelve minutes.
Yet, it is what happened after the sinking that defines the story of the USS Indianapolis.
Because no one was coming for the survivors.
The first in our two-part series Anatomy of a Disaster details the events that led up to the fateful sinking—and the worst shark attack in human history.
