Latinopia Event 1945 USS Indianapolis Torpedoed 2 from Latinopia.com on Vimeo.
After the U.S.S. Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine on July 30, 1945, 900 men clung to rafts and fought off dehydration and shark attacks for five days. Desperately thirsty, many of the sailors started drinking sea water which soon drove them mad with hallucinations, making them easy prey for the sharks. Adolfo “Harpo” Celaya, seventeen years old at the time, recalls this harrowing experience.
