Smokey Pilot	posted 10-22- 12:43 PM I think the History Channel had something on about it a while back. I thought they said something like 750 military personnel were lost in the incident. IP: Logged
Pierre Radiateur Cadet	posted 10-23- 03:39 AM Been there It's an odd place...nothing much there except the shingle beach, a road along the causeway and a ree-filled lagoon behind. There is a simple monument that commemorates the events that took place, and a few of the local museums have some pretty good stuff on the place. Apparantly, the local kids use the road as a dragstrip in the evenings.... This was one of those tragedies that got covered up, but is pretty well known over here. Well... I grew up in that neck of the woods so I knew abot it... IP: Logged
