The Sailors Who Delivered the Atomic Bomb Spent 4 Days in Shark Waters Before Anyone Came

They carried the atomic bomb across the Pacific. Four days later, their ship was torpedoed and sank in 12 minutes. Nearly 900 men went into the water, and no one was even looking for them. This is the true story of the USS Indianapolis: the secret mission, the four days adrift, the rescue that happened by accident, the captain who was blamed for it all — and what the movie "Jaws" got wrong. Featuring the real words of two survivors: Dr. Lewis Haynes, the ship's medical officer, and Woody James, who lived through the shark attacks. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 – Left in the Dark 1:12 – The Secret Cargo 3:00 – Alone 4:37 – Twelve Minutes 6:12 – Left to the Sharks 11:02 – Found by Accident 13:54 – The Blame 15:45 – Myth vs. Reality 16:33 – Never Forgotten 19:03 – Honor Roll 🎵 MUSIC Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 — Long Note Four, Dark Times, Darkest Child, Unseen Horrors, Heavy Interlude, Lightless Dawn, Lasting Hope, Sad Trio, Night Vigil, Echoes of Time v2, Clean Soul, Despair and Triumph.
