This is actually kinda insane
In 1996, a 14-year-old kid watched Jaws and got obsessed with Quint’s WWII monologue.
He then began researching the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis, interviewed around 150 survivors, and reviewed 800 documents. His research focused on the role of the ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, who had been court-martialed after the incident. He came to believe that Captain Charles Butler McVay III, who had been blamed for the tragedy, was innocent.
The 14-year-old, Hunter Scott, presented his findings to the United States Congress at age 14. In 2000, Congress passed a resolution clearing Captain McVay’s name, and the U.S. Navy later formally exonerated him.
The most telling thing about our world today is that the thing I wondered first about this is post is HOW he got this lemon car into his living room instead of WHY. I don't even ask why anymore. 🫠
