the words in loving memory some of kelly's distant surviving relatives found information online about the b-NUMBER_TOKEN bomber in NUMBER_TOKEN. they spent the next several years conducting further research ultimately leading to an ocean floor search by oceanographers and archaeologists which was covered in a NUMBER_TOKEN new york times article by mike ives the long-missing b-NUMBER_TOKEN bomber was found thanks to the non-profit project recover which works with the defense pow mia accounting agency to find identify and return the remains of world war ii personnel discovered in hansa bay it's one of five us aircraft that are believed to have gone down in the area during world war ii since NUMBER_TOKEN the remains of nearly NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN u.s soldiers have been recovered this may seem like a lot but some NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN individuals remain unaccounted for and only NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN are considered recoverable while advancements in forensic science are helping in the effort to send fallen fighters home experts are fighting against the clock as remains become more difficult to identify with time number eight missing man recovered the navy cruiser uss indianapolis was destroyed by a japanese torpedo in july NUMBER_TOKEN as what's been described by many as the navy's worst ever maritime disaster the vessel sank in less than an hour sailors and marines perished in the actual sinking as well as afterward from salt water poisoning dehydration and shark attacks in NUMBER_TOKEN the wreck of the uss indianapolis was discovered NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN feet below the water surface in the philippine sea for a long time the death toll was believed to number NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN were believed to have survived but the naval history and heritage command's histories and archives division announced in NUMBER_TOKEN that these figures were wrong and that NUMBER_TOKEN people died while NUMBER_TOKEN lived due to a clerical error navy radio technician clarence william donner was listed as being on the ship when he actually wasn't once researchers saw the error it brought the total count of those aboard the ship down from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN thereby solving the decades-old mystery of an unidentified missing man aboard the ship imagine if you were declared dead by mistake for being on a ship that sank in the war you'd have no identity you could start fresh with a brand new life would you tell me your ideas in the comments below then remember to subscribe to american eye if you haven't already for more intense videos number NUMBER_TOKEN landing craft wreck located in NUMBER_TOKEN a british vessel called the landing craft tank lct NUMBER_TOKEN disappeared with NUMBER_TOKEN crew members aboard military officials concluded that it probably encountered bad weather or hit a mine and sank somewhere off the isle of man marine scientists finally found the vessel last year off bardsley island in northern wales it was discovered NUMBER_TOKEN miles south of where experts had believed it was all along new research revealed that the vessel's escort ship hms cotillion last witnessed lct NUMBER_TOKEN in the area where it was recently found despite official recordings claiming that it sank off the isle of man the wreck was discovered broken in two resting NUMBER_TOKEN feet below the water's surface although its identity was unconfirmed when the news made headlines chances are good that it's lct NUMBER_TOKEN as the vessel lies right in the path of the flotilla it was traveling with when it vanished measuring NUMBER_TOKEN feet long and NUMBER_TOKEN feet wide the sunken vessel also matches the dimensions
