The Sinking of the HMS Dasher, Firth of Clyde, Scotland 🏴
#1 - The Facts
83 years ago today, an escort carrier called HMS Dasher was carrying out flying exercises in the waters between Ardrossan and the Isle of Arran. In the span of just a few minutes, two massive explosions tore through the ship - the huge aircraft carrier was blasted 60 feet into the air, the wooden flight deck buckled and caved in, and enormous fires took hold. Within eight minutes, the Dasher had completely slipped beneath the waves, bow pointing skyward.
Out of 528 men on board, 379 were lost that afternoon. Many who made it into the water died from burns or the freezing cold. The worst part about this disaster was that no enemy action was involved, it was completely self inflicted. It remains one of the worst naval disasters in British home waters during the whole of the Second World War.
Yet, for decades, almost nothing was said about it in public. Families were left with very few answers, they were even paid off and told "never speak of this," and even today some details still don't add up. This is the story of the HMS Dasher, and the long fight to uncover what really happened in our own waters all those years ago.

I teach the fraudulent PACE trial as how not to conduct research in my research methods course. My students ask how this demonstrated slop got into and stays in a prestigious journal. Maybe someday I’ll have @TheLancet editors in as guest speakers to tell my students themselves.

Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4
