YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDays after the attack on Pearl Harbor, one soldier on patrol hears… a distant tapping. He looks around for the source of the noise, but he can’t quite place where it’s coming from, this muffled metallic pounding… and then he looks down into the dark water. The man on patrol reports how the banging continued for hours, that there’s someone down there trapped in a sunken ship beneath the waves. Months later, when the ship was able to be moved to a dry dock, the most frightening discovery wasn’t the decomposing remains of sailors told to take a deep breath as they slipped below the surface, it was three dry bodies in an airtight pump room, beside empty rations and spent batteries. Their families were told they died on the 7th, but the banging sound didn't stop until Christmas Eve
