Duck and cover and all of that stuff.

But do you remember me? Isn't that interesting? Occurred to me recently? I think I was listening to an interview with a writer I believe it was on a podcast I like, and he was talking about how, you know, distinctly he remembered the Cold War as a kid and like going through drills like where you'd hide under your desk as if that was going to protect you from a nuclear blast.

I had been, Yeah, I'd been in some of those drills. There were still around, you know, because you had the tornado drill where you had to go in the hallway and get like face down into the base boards. But the nuclear drills felt almost more like propaganda, you know.

I remember in my APUs class back in high school, we did all like a whole thing about Cold war propaganda, and Duck and Cover was one that we watched varying detail.

It's like, no, it won't.

It's like, no, it won't.

It will kill you, will die, prevent you from seeing the arrival of your death. Correct. But something that burns so hot and so bright that it can make shadows on a wall permanent is not going to be not gonna be stopped by a desk or newspaper. But it's weird too, nol Because in an effort to make those things more approachable for children, they made the messages one hundred times more creepy, you know what I mean. Now it's this anthropomorphic cartoon turtle who's telling you, you know, hide from the nuclear weapons. Anyway people knew they were a threat. This this is part two. Listen to Part one of Broken Arrows. In today's episode, we're diving into some more specific cases of lost nukes. The first one that we're going to talk about is the only one that is not lost in some kind of body of water. This one is in the ground, which you would think would make it way easier to find, right, Like, you don't need a submarine.

Yeah, you would think that. I guess you could just use like, you know, one of those things that beachcombers use, you know, like a metal detector, you know, for like a a hobbyist treasure hunter. Surely there's like a large scale version of that, right yeah, right, Or at the very least, couldn't you do some kind of radar situation where maybe light ar where you could like, you know, sort of like those things they have on fishing boats where you can kind of see the shape of a thing like there has to be that's also part of the way they find dinosaur fossils. I believe these things so what's the deal, Ben, Why was it that the case?

Well, let's go to Heather Lea for WRAL dot com, who points out is not one but two nuclear bombs lost in North Carolina because of a crashing military airplane and they're in a field somewhere near Goldsboro. Let's get some Wayne's World flashback.

There is there.

There is there.

Thank you. Yeah, Okay, So now we're back. It's nineteen sixty one. The bomber carrying these nukes has a fuel leak, and before it manages to land at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsborough, the pilot says, all right, we're gonna keep flying. We want to try to burn off some gas. Hopefully this will prevent the plane from exploding if I try this risky land in.

The event that it doesn't go as expected. Anytime you're gliding into a landing link that any number of things could go wrong. So that is a standard operating procedure to do that.

So he's burning off the gas.

So he's burning off the gas.

Unfortunately, though, the leak gets a lot worse, and so the crew turns around and start to approach Seymour Johnson. Five of these crewmen ejected out of a hatch you know, one by one, and the B fifty two could be seen by each of them from their parachutes, and it could be seen blowing up, breaking apart in mid air, and the two hydrogen bombs along with it, separated from the plane falling, falling, falling into the North Carolina fields.

And this is swampy land too. It's really important for the story. So one of the bombs has a parachute guiding its fall and it lands intact. The other one slams into the mud, like I said, going hundreds of miles an hour. It is wormed deep into the swamp and officials aren't able to get all of the pieces of this bomb. Some pieces are still there, according to the story, nearly two hundred feet beneath the grid, and only a single switch prevented this bomb from detonating. In our last episode we talked about mega tons. That's a million ton metric tons of TNT. This bomb was a two point four megaton bomb, and of course they tried to keep it secret, but it got declassified and if you look at the photos of the scene, it is terrifying. We got to introduce a hero to the story, Noel, Lieutenant Jack revel who was the bomb disposal expert who got the call to try to stop and disarm a nuclear.

On the Yeah, and obviously the tenant jack is done. All of these. But yeah, you're you're right. The serious answer you gave is is correct. He would later say, I'll never forget hearing my sergeants say, Lieutenant, we found the arm safe switch. That's the switch that you know decides whether or not the bomb can detonate. And he thought, oh great, okay, something good happened. And then.

Well, it was a strange thing to be doing, Max, So luckily, luckily for everybody.

Well, it was a strange thing to be doing, Max, So luckily, luckily for everybody.

Luckily, it's weird between us, and I'm in a weird place, so I have to turn to see between you guys. But it's immensely fortunate that they were able to find this switch. The lieutenant is thinking, great, finally something's going right.

That's a big yikes. Max, I'm gonna need you to.

That's a big yikes. Max, I'm gonna need you to.

Keep your hands to yourself, buddy yourself. Yeah, that's a mega yikes. Another potential whoopsie resulting from an original whoopsie that was already a massive whipsie. Which these are official military terms, by the.

Keep your hands to yourself, buddy yourself. Yeah, that's a mega yikes. Another potential whoopsie resulting from an original whoopsie that was already a massive whipsie. Which these are official military terms, by the.

Way, Yes, these are official terms of nuclear nomenclature, engineering jargon. Whoopsies. So this could have easily killed tons and tons of people, and we're talking like thousands of folks could have died in the blasts. There would have been a radioactive cloud. Without knowing which direction the wind blew, we can still say that long term cancer rates would have skyrocketed in the area over time. If it hit in Raleigh, it would have taken out Raleigh, Chapel Hill, all the surrounding cities.

Unbelievable. I mean, I'm I'm joking, but it's true. Raleigh Chapel Hill, the Research Triangle. It's the seat of Merge Records. And also I believe, well maybe now the mog Factory is in Ashville, but there used to have a presence there as well, or at least mog Fest that I went to once, but also incredible seats of academia, which I believe our buddies Will and Mangesh went to Duke University, which is in that general neck of.

The whip time at Duke as well, is pretty pretty cool place, and I'm glad it's still around.

Glad it didn't get decimated by an accidental atomic whoopsie, which I know is redundant to say an accidental whopsie.

But now you can go see evidence of this. There is a sign marker in Eureka and North Carolina, three miles away from the site of the nuclear mishap. The only evidence of this brush with disaster is a small patch of trees, some weird colored dirt in a field. Those are the only reminders of that fate full night. And this, of course is just one example. We have another example of a nuclear weapon falling off an aircraft carrier and politicizer, so totally disappeared. It might be out there right now. It might be.

I'll tell you how you proceed with caution? Yes, yeah, so oopsie off the back of him. Sorry, I'm not gonna stop saying that and make no apologies for it. Off the back of an aircraft carrier. How does that even happen?

Which let's go to Mario Alvaro Limos for Esquire magazine. He says, no one knows where this bomb is. It's somewhere at the bottom of the Philippine Sea. In December nineteen sixty five, that aircraft carrier mentioned the USS Taekwonderoga, left the Subic Naval Base. This was at the time the largest overseas military base in the world for the US, and the Taekwonderoga sailed to the Philippine Sea. It participated in a naval exercise, so wargame basically, and during the exercise, the Navy aboard the Taekwonder Roga tried to move one of their fighter aircraft. And these carriers, the fact that they can launch planes is amazing, but also the space is like crazy tight. It's always interesting.

And you know in a movie if someone like a scientist or whatever gets picked up by an aircraft carrier and they're like the only one in there, you know.

Is serious, right exactly? Yeah, And the aircraft they're trying to move is what's called a Douglas A four E Skyhawk. It's being piloted by a guy named Lieutenant Douglas M. Webster. No relation to Douglas the Skyhawk or the firm, the tree or the firm, Yes, and no relation in Douglas Firm. Now, while they're moving this aircraft out of the hangar bay, it rolls over the side of the carrier, and it rolls over with the pilot still in it. The plane falls into the sea along with its payload, a B forty three nuclear bomb. It's tragic to report that the pilot, the plane, and the bomb, all three were lost and never recovered. To this day, there's somewhere four thy nine hundred meters at the bottom of the ocean.

Pretty wild. So that's that is Titanic level depths.

Pretty wild. So that's that is Titanic level depths.

Correct, It's yeah, it's way deeper than the other stuff we're talking about. And this is something a point you brought up in episode one. Man, this is not a big, big story the US, like a carrier, is a small city, but it's a small city where every resident is directly controlled by the US got totally.

And.

And.

The secret does eventually come out and Japan, remember they were participating in this training exercise. They launch a diplomatic inquiry into the incident and they're saying, hey, we should know if there's a nuclear weapon in the ocean near US. The carrier have been present in Japanese waters when this mishap occurred, and Japan does not allow nuclear weapons in its territory at all, full stop. And this is very sensitive. Remember it's nineteen sixty five. It's just a couple decades after America dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. So they're feeling like the US misled them, which is totally true and valid, and they're feeling like they can't trust these people who are supposed to be there allies now. So this had huge geopolitical implications. Uh, the nuclear bomb, the B forty three that fell into the sea, was forty three times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, and the military denied that there would be any lasting environmental impact due to this. You could just put it there and they're like, hey, don't worry, it's a lot of water.

No, that's not good, Max. I will workshop this for a while, but this could be a fun theme party. But yeah, we're gonna take this, this nuclear themed cocktail party to as promised in episode one.

That is amazingly creative, it really is. You know, I wonder how long they spent on that one, you know, so, okay, twelve foot long thermonuclear bomb. This is a true story, and we all if you live in this area, you hear some version of this inevitably. Growing up, there was an accident in nineteen fifty eight that resulted in the bomb being not accidentally but intentionally jettisoned from a B forty seven bomber in the wee hours sometime after midnight, right after they had crashed in mid air against an F eighty six fighter jet. A lot of you know, a disturbing amount of planes running into each other. Yeah, I feel like, no, we're not pilots, and of.

Growing up, there was an accident in nineteen fifty eight that resulted in the bomb being not accidentally but intentionally jettisoned from a B forty seven bomber in the wee hours sometime after midnight, right after they had crashed in mid air against an F eighty six fighter jet. A lot of you know, a disturbing amount of planes running into each other. Yeah, I feel like, no, we're not pilots, and of.

Course yes not air traffic controllers.

Course yes not air traffic controllers.

We're not ATC. So I think, like a lot of land lubbers, we make the assumption that there's so much sky out there and planes are so small in comparison that they could just sort of whiz by each other.

Yeah, but I mean the visibility is an issue obviously. And anyway, again, I don't know enough information about this world. Even conjecture, but turns out more common than you'd think. Be Have you happened to catch the recent or so ongoing Apple TV show Hijack.

Yeah, but I mean the visibility is an issue obviously. And anyway, again, I don't know enough information about this world. Even conjecture, but turns out more common than you'd think. Be Have you happened to catch the recent or so ongoing Apple TV show Hijack.

I haven't watched it. It's very good.

I haven't watched it. It's very good.

It reminds me of those like two thousand's kind of ABC NBC the Ticking Clock kind of action shows like twenty four and things like that. But it's indris Elba and it's a commercial flight from Dubai to I believe London is hijacked and it's it's a scenario you've seen a million times, but they do it really, really cleverly, and at one point, which I believe is practice procedure for this, if there is an unresponsive plane, you get some attention from fighter jets.

I see. Yeah, that is.

I see. Yeah, that is.

Given the potential for that plane to be in the commission of a terrorist act. So that that's a very and not not spoiler. I won't go into what happens at all, but it's a I didn't really think about that, and it does make sense.

You got to have the comms and also unrelated to anything, I just want to point this out. This is credit where it's do. These new studios are great. There's a guy right outside. He's operating a leaf blower Max a leaf blower, Holy cow, And yeah, yeah you can see him.

Hey, I wouldn't you know what I wouldn't.

Hey, I wouldn't you know what I wouldn't.

There is there is so and then we all know how much you love leaf blowers.

There is there is so and then we all know how much you love leaf blowers.

Thank you. I love how much of your life you've.

Thank you. I love how much of your life you've.

Your window to the point where he wrote a hit piece on leaf flowers. Yeah, but check that episode out. Yeah, you can check that out. You can also check out what Noel, what you're talking about with these the importance of communication amid aircraft, civilian, commercial, and of course military. The B forty seven again it feels like tale as old as time in this series. It's on a simulated combat mission flying out a Homestead Air Force Base in Florida, and when it gets to Savannah, it's like three point thirty am. They hit an F eighty six and three times. The B forty seven tries to land at Hunter Air Force Base in Georgia with that nuclear weapon on board, but the aircraft has just been walloped and this is weird. They couldn't slow down enough to land safely.

So game time decision, you know, do we get rid of this weapon, you know, rather than potentially exposing Hunter Air Force Base to this high explosive detonation, right mm hmm. So it's like, you know, it's it's a it's a very tense and last minute call.

So game time decision, you know, do we get rid of this weapon, you know, rather than potentially exposing Hunter Air Force Base to this high explosive detonation, right mm hmm. So it's like, you know, it's it's a it's a very tense and last minute call.

Oh for sure. Yeah, And it's it's a call you have to make because you don't want to risk innocant lives there, and so the weapon gets jettisoned a few miles from the mouth of the Savannah River in Wassau Sound on Tybee Beach. Nobody knows exactly where it hit the water. We know it has dropped from a pretty high altitude seventy two hundred feet. No detonation occurred. The B forty seven did land safely, and the search for the thing began, a search that remains unsuccessful even now. In twenty twenty three, they searched three square miles. I can only imagine they used Bayesian inference. One would hope we're gonna name drop that constantly. I'm gonna do that all the time.

It's gonna be hilarious when we run into someone who has studied it or understands it. Yeah.

I mean even the description that I read off of wiki whatever, I completely can't wrap my head around.

I mean even the description that I read off of wiki whatever, I completely can't wrap my head around.

So they search for this, and regardless of what methods they use, they come up with bup gus and by April sixteenth, nineteen fifty eight, get this. They give up. They say, They just say, well, you know, Savannah is fine. It seems that way.

Yeah, let's go to the weird Let's go to some of the weird history museums. There's a few there are.

Yeah, let's go to the weird Let's go to some of the weird history museums. There's a few there are.

It's a very historic, beautiful street brun great real brunch city, oh my god, and thankfully one that has not yet been wiped off the map by this buried nuke.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, so go get those eggs, Benedict. Gather ye eggs, Benedict, while you may so, Okay, people have been searching for this for a while. It's nineteen ninety eight. There's a retired military officer and his partner who decide they are going to discover this bomb. They're gonna find it for the guts, for the glory, right, And they interview the pilot who originally jettisoned it. They interviewed all the people they could find who searched for the bomb. Decades ago, and they said, all right, it's got to be somewhere with saw sound. And for years they just went back and forth by via boat. They had a Geiger counter behind them, hoping they could find.

There.

There.

It is, Oh no, just a little bit max to say, just a little bit, just a little bit. But anyways, so they their thought is pretty solid. They say, okay, if we detect us spike and radiation from the Geiger counter on the boat, that will help us find what we're looking for. And one day they find it in the spot the pilot had described. There's a patch with radiation ten times the level of anywhere else. Makes that clickie clickie sound. Right, the clickety clackety right of the witch. I just rewatched the Witch.

Do you think those twins were witches?

Do you think those twins were witches?

Well, they were at very least under the sway of the witch.

Well, they were at very least under the sway of the witch.

And the degree. Yeah, I think that's right.

And the degree. Yeah, I think that's right.

So at this point the government intervenes and sends out a cracked team of investigators to check out the scene, but unfortunately they didn't find the nuclear weapon. It turns out that this was as there was this clickety clackety they were talking about, was as a result of naturally occurring radiation from seabed minerals.

That's weird. Yeah, I didn't see that coming, No, I didn't. That's a world twist. Makes you reconsider swimming, but it sure does.

That's weird. Yeah, I didn't see that coming, No, I didn't. That's a world twist. Makes you reconsider swimming, but it sure does.

Like what if you just end up over a pocket of radioactive seabed minerals.

Like what if you just end up over a pocket of radioactive seabed minerals.

Random, Yeah, radiation emitting minerals. So that's a heck of a red herring. And that's that's a real uh, that's a real bummer. There have been more and more official attempts to locate this, most recently in two thousand and four. Again, as we said at the top, none have succeeded. The Air Force believes that thankfully, the nuclear capsule, the part of that makes it a nuclear bomb, was not in this device when it was lost, but no one's really sure. So right now, when you go get brunch in Savannah, look out across the water and think about the seventy six hundred pounds Mark fifteen bomb just waiting there Kuthulu like in the deep.

Indeed, it slumbers slumbers, yes, and with strange eons, and death may die.

And so before we end today's episode, we want to note again the broken arrowcases we know about are probably there's probably way fraction. Yeah, fraction.

And so before we end today's episode, we want to note again the broken arrowcases we know about are probably there's probably way fraction. Yeah, fraction.

I mean seriously again, because we know how close the government likes to play their whoopsies to the vest, and it is only when their hand is forced because of deepclassification that they release any information.

Even then it's.

Usually highly redacted. So surprising that we know what we know.

Usually highly redacted. So surprising that we know what we know.

Yeah, that's a good way to look at Also, we don't know for sure about even US allies, like other countries also play this close to the chest. What about France? What about the United Kingdom? Not to mention things that are not part of five eyes, like what about the Soviet Union? How many do they lose? What about the PRC of China? We don't know much which about them, We don't have a full accounting. We know that the biggest mystery there is going to be the Soviet Union's nuclear past. They had a stockpile of forty five thousand nuclear weapons as of nineteen eighty six, and we know that there are cases where the Soviet Union lost nukes that has yet to retrieve. But unlike with the US incidents, the ones we know about occurred in submarines, which makes it way trickier to figure out what happened. To them. And then also because the ocean's a dynamic environment, these subs can drift after they disappear. In nineteen sixty eight, a Soviet K one nine sank in the Pacific Ocean just northwest of Hawaii with three nuclear missiles, and they there's a whole other story here. I think it's its own episode, absolutely, yeah, because this they said, we're going to try to retrieve this and see and they contact Howard Hughes, like billionaire Tony starkish Howard Hughes before he goes full crazy, and they say, you need to pretend to be interested in deep sea mining. And it's also I think we talked about this on stuff they want.

I think that's right. Yeah, gosh, the old brain cloud is starting to set in at the end of the day here, but it does ring a bell.

I think that's right. Yeah, gosh, the old brain cloud is starting to set in at the end of the day here, but it does ring a bell.

And I think we should, you know what, This is such a strange story. I think we're gonna save this one and maybe explore it in the future. And let's ring the bell on the episode. What do you say?

And I think we should, you know what, This is such a strange story. I think we're gonna save this one and maybe explore it in the future. And let's ring the bell on the episode. What do you say?

Yeah, remain in DAWs.

You know, obviously there was a period during the Cold War where nuclear attack was definitely still top of mind for a lot of For sure, duck and cover the original propaganda video we're talking about with YOURDLD, the turtle or whatever it was.

From the fifties.

From the fifties.

But I found an article saying how the intent and the actual result of a lot of those videos was just to have people remain indoors, to shelter in place, you know, and that you could actually just by not going outside ultimately save a lot of lives.

Well, remain indoors is just from Michelin wellt Yes, yeah, the quiz broadcast is.

So it's really really great.

So it's really really great.

They're always referring to the event.

They're always referring to the event.

Yes, yeah, don't think about the event exactly, and they're always trying to guess at remnants of human civilism. I want to rewatch that, but for now I think We're going to roll out some thank yous, a cavalcade of thank yous to super producer Max kill Aton Williams, also our research associate for this series. Who else stole? Who else?

Oh he had longer hair? Yeah, our broken era Yeah? Oh gosh yeah. Jonathan Strickland, the aka the Quist. Wait did we say his name?

Oh he had longer hair? Yeah, our broken era Yeah? Oh gosh yeah. Jonathan Strickland, the aka the Quist. Wait did we say his name?

Freak?

Freak?

You said the whole thing while looking into a mirror, because technically this glass here is a mirror, and I believe you just spun around in your seat in reverse a few times. So what does it mean, Ben? What does it mean?

You said the whole thing while looking into a mirror, because technically this glass here is a mirror, and I believe you just spun around in your seat in reverse a few times. So what does it mean, Ben? What does it mean?

Well, it means when need to wrap up this outro quick fast and in a hurry or else. Oh it's Jonathan strickly Ak, the Wuister. How could this happen? How could this happen?

Well, it means when need to wrap up this outro quick fast and in a hurry or else. Oh it's Jonathan strickly Ak, the Wuister. How could this happen? How could this happen?

It's like it's like that you ever read The Mangler by Stephen k You know how that the the laundry machine becomes possessed because somebody accident spills their jello into hemlock. And it's just this exact perfect storm of Oopsie's sorry that we've been talking about today.

It's like it's like that you ever read The Mangler by Stephen k You know how that the the laundry machine becomes possessed because somebody accident spills their jello into hemlock. And it's just this exact perfect storm of Oopsie's sorry that we've been talking about today.

I'm not going to stop using that term.

I'm not going to stop using that term.

This is what happened with you. We looked into the mirror, we said your name three times or something, and then Ben spun around his chair backwards and here you are.

This is what happened with you. We looked into the mirror, we said your name three times or something, and then Ben spun around his chair backwards and here you are.

Look me and uh, bloody Mary and Candy Man been waiting, We've been snacking waiting and uh it's been been a real good time. How are they they could we're all we've all been at Pont City Market. No one told us that you moved, and uh that's floor is really there's a different group there. They are not as much fun.

Look me and uh, bloody Mary and Candy Man been waiting, We've been snacking waiting and uh it's been been a real good time. How are they they could we're all we've all been at Pont City Market. No one told us that you moved, and uh that's floor is really there's a different group there. They are not as much fun.

Yeah that was by design man. Yeah, but you've outwitted us and found our new office clearly with no help from many one.

Yeah that was by design man. Yeah, but you've outwitted us and found our new office clearly with no help from many one.

Know it's it took me a long time to walk here. It is not convenient.

Know it's it took me a long time to walk here. It is not convenient.

And I mean those healings really helped you.

And I mean those healings really helped you.

To see you see him scoot I see.

To see you see him scoot I see.

Yeah, I'll say this that ever since the cab avenue, they've repaved it and they got rid of that that suicide lane. Yeah, that's really helped out quite a bit. Like it really a smooth out. But I can just take that all the way up to Marrietta Street.

Yeah, I'll say this that ever since the cab avenue, they've repaved it and they got rid of that that suicide lane. Yeah, that's really helped out quite a bit. Like it really a smooth out. But I can just take that all the way up to Marrietta Street.

You've gotta you've got to tell us, Jonathan, Sure, long time, listeners will know that this is what you've described as the most cringe worthy segment in podcasting.

You've gotta you've got to tell us, Jonathan, Sure, long time, listeners will know that this is what you've described as the most cringe worthy segment in podcasting.

That's your description, it is, in fact my description.

That's your description, it is, in fact my description.

What is the quister? What is what is this thing that's happened? It's been like, how long has it been? No?

What is the quister? What is what is this thing that's happened? It's been like, how long has it been? No?

I mean possibly a year, possibly more than.

I mean possibly a year, possibly more than.

Me a year?

Me a year?

Is I think so? And that's again yeah, I mean he just nowhere to find it. I thought we mentioned you every episode though, which is part of me. I think part of both of us.

Is I think so? And that's again yeah, I mean he just nowhere to find it. I thought we mentioned you every episode though, which is part of me. I think part of both of us.

Missed you a little bit.

Missed you a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, I missed you, guys.

Yeah, yeah, I missed you, guys.

So much like the way you miss a tumor is sort of.

So much like the way you miss a tumor is sort of.

Yeah, or you know, you miss it when you when you have a tooth knocked out and you can't help but put your tongue in the root and just root around, even though it kind of hurts too, you sort of still have to do it, Or.

Yeah, or you know, you miss it when you when you have a tooth knocked out and you can't help but put your tongue in the root and just root around, even though it kind of hurts too, you sort of still have to do it, Or.

Like when you're trying to shoot someone and you miss I have missed you several times.

Like when you're trying to shoot someone and you miss I have missed you several times.

Or like when you talk to a reporter and you explain that your whole tactic is to hold out until October and all the riders are no longer able to pay mortgages and rent and then you can force them to come back to your own terms like that, kind of like.

That swinging a miss, swinging a miss, because there are some levels of villainy that even you, the quizt would not see.

That swinging a miss, swinging a miss, because there are some levels of villainy that even you, the quizt would not see.

Yeah that's low, man, that's pretty low. Yeah. So this segment, I guess to finally get around to answering your question. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, is when I the quizz stir Jonathan Stricklett appear and quiz the two of you upon something possibly tangentially related to the episode topic at hand, No promise, And I give you three scenarios oh boy, two mean goose pot, two of which i'll reeal in one which I made up. Season it is your duty to find the one I made up. And and I decided, since you were talking about arrows what had been broken and nuclear packages what had been misplaced, that I would go with sort of a precursor what used to be considered one of the big weapons of the military age, far before nuclear age, and that would be ships.

Ships.

Ships.

So the three scenarios which you'll be presented are all about ships what sunk. So I will read out the scenarios and then at the end I will give you the arbitrary rule I use where you can ask me a question, but you have to follow the arbitrary rule before before I'll accept it. All right, So here we go. Here are the scenarios. Come here the sad tale of the Jumpin' Java, an ill fated ship originally belonging to the Cunard Line. The jumpin Java reportedly got its name for the way the ship responded to particular choppy seas, and it did not enjoy a positive reputation. But that reputation absolutely sunk when the Java did as well in eighteen ninety five while on a voyage from San Francisco to New York. Of course, by then it was called the Lord Spencer of Jay Heron and Company, having undergone multiple name changes over the years. Scenario two listen unto me. The Morning Star was a ship originally launched by the British at Calcutta in eighteen thirteen, but her tenure was not long. She sadly met her and in eighteen fourteen, wrecking off the coast of Queensland. Later, another ship called the Eliza found five survivors marooned on wait for it, Booby Island.
