#The Robotic Search For Lost WORLD WAR II Airmen Click here to see the galleryon a bright morning in Mid-march Pat Scannon stands on the deck of a 40-foot catamaran looking for an airplane hidden in the waters of Palau

He has spent the past 20 years making annual wreck-hunting trips to Palau about 500 miles from the Philippines to find aircraft that had been shot down during one of WORLD WAR II's fiercest battles planes that may still be holding their pilots His organization Bentprop Project

works to repatriate their remains to the U s. To guide the search Scannon ordinarily relies on interviews with Palauan elders military records

and maps hand-drawn after the war. But on this trip he has a new tool at his disposal.

while helping Bentprop locate WORLD WAR II airmen an effort they named Project Recover. The lead scientist is Eric Terrill director of the Scripps Coastal Observing Research and development Center.

Bentprop could find planes in a tricky marine environment with steep terrain fast currents and coral heads while Scripps tested circulation models and advanced imaging systems.

and after WORLD WAR II broke out it began to shore up its defenses building hundreds of bunkers

and caves to defend the islands from an American attack. General Macarthur who wanted to secure islands to the east as he prepared to invade the Philippines ordered that attack in 1944.

The U s. began with a furious air campaign that was designed to knock out Japanese vessels clustered in Palau's western lagoon

and adjacent harbors and clear the way for an amphibious assault. These people died defending usthat September the U s. Marines landed on the island of Peleliu.

Although they ultimately won that battle it came at a terrible cost: 10000 Japanese and 1700 Americans were killed in action the highest casualty rate of WORLD WAR II's Pacific Theater.

And between the beginning of the air campaign and the end of the war Bentprop estimates 200 U s. aircraft were shot down inside Palau's barrier reef.

Some 40 to 50 planes and 70 to 80 airmen have never been recovered. Scannon a medical doctor and founder of a biotechnology company first visited Palau in 1993 as a recreational scuba diver.

He came with a group looking for a Japanese naval vessel that had been sunk by George h w bush who flew torpedo bombers during the war.

After the group found it Scannon hired a local guide to take him to other wreck sites where he eventually discovered the wing of A b-24.

and active-duty military members to help him search. Combing the jungle and surrounding waters they located debris from more than five dozen aircraft.

It carried 10 to 11 men including a pilot and copilot gunners bombers a radioman and a navigator.

Of the four B-24s Bentprop suspects were shot down near Palau two were found after the war.

the organization notified the Department of defense's Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and the remains of the eight men onboard (three had parachuted out only to be apprehended

Mission photographs from WORLD WAR II show the fourth a Consolidated B-24 Liberator on a path toward the western lagoon.

what heading they were on during the bombing mission and we have very good information about

but their unofficial headquarters is an open-air bar called the Drop off originally built for the production crew of CBS's Survivor:

WORLD WAR II wrecks attract dive tourists and salvagers. The next morning at the coral-reef lab Terrill debriefs Scannon and the Bentprop group.

Flip Colmer a former Navy pilot who now flies for Delta also with Bentprop reaches for the book Floatplanes in Action

There weren't antiaircraft along the ridge. But existing ships that were moored still had antiaircraft.

During WORLD WAR II floatplanes in Palau often flew rescue operations. As they scooped airmen from the water another plane provided cover overhead.

Bentprop knew that two Kingfishers on reconnaissance missions had disappeared during the war and the western lagoon seemed the most likely location for them to have ended up.

After descending to the plane O'brien noticed that the windscreen on the cockpit was located behind the wing.

Scannon waves me over to the cockpit and places my hand on the gun mount.

It held a 7. 7mm machine gun Scannon later explains to me developed by the Japanese navy.

The high-speed reconnaissance floatplane had a single engine contra-rotating propellers and a center pontoon that could be jettisoned during an attack.

It also had flattened a beaver tail around the vertical stabilizer an aft cockpit machine gun and no wing armaments.

According to Bentprop the Japanese manufactured nine prototypes; six were brought to Palau for combat testing and all were shot down by U s. forces.

Though it isn't an American plane Scannon is pleased with the discovery. It's a very unusual aircraft one of the rarest archaeological planes you will find he says.

And there's a very high likelihood that the remains are still on it. Bentprop alerts the Palauan government which will notify the Japanese embassy.

that of the American Corsair discovered by the spear fishermen. That plate revealed the Corsair's story.

On November 21 1944 a young Marine captain named Carroll Mccullah set off from the American airfield to finish off a Japanese vessel that had been bombed earlier.

On the way back he and his wingman strafed four Japanese ammunition dumps; an explosion at the last one sent shrapnel into the oil cooler of his plane.

Mccullah placed a distress call and made for the island's western reef. Then he tightened his seat belt locked the canopy back and turned off the plane's engine switch.

Placing his left hand on the cockpit coaming he braced for impact. There was no shock Mccullah later wrote in a mission report.

and swam across the reef where a rescue aircraft swept down to pick him up.

For the rest of his life Mccullah who after his rescue went back to the base had a brandy

#Hiroshima Visualized In the whole of human history thus far nuclear weapons have been used in anger exactly twice.

Sixty-eight years ago today an American B-29 bomber named Enola Gay dropped Little Boy the first atomic bomb ever used in war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

Between 90000 and 166000 people were killed by the bomb some in the initial blast and others later through radiation poisoning.

Lucas a graphic designer based in Macclesfield England told Popular Science he wanted the work to highlight not just the the dropping of the Atom bomb

Dozens of lines--each representing a historical event leading up to the dropping of the first bomb from Wilhelm R ntgen's discovery of x-rays in 1895 to the first plutonium reprocessing in 1945--all shoot upwards from a single source.

The second below features a line for every person killed by the blast using the first-obtained casualty figures at respective distances from the blast.

The final image covers the globe in lines from bomb development sites until they converge on Hiroshima.

which was used in the bomb...and 68 years later we are still keeping ourselves busy with extreme nuclear research building particle accelerators with ever increasing luminosity...

if the US had dropped not the bombs. Go back and read about how the Japanese defended the islands of Peleliu Iwo jima Okinawa Philippines.

On Peleliu the Japanese had 11000 defenders-of those only 202 were captured. On Okinawa there were close to 105000 defenders-of those 95000 died in combat 2000 surrendered the rest committed suicide.

Then lets discuss the the hundreds of thousands of civilians that were killed and the 12000 US soldiers that died taking it

and children were being trained to defend their homeland-some only with bamboo spears). Even after two atomic bombs were dropped there were Japanese military leaders that wanted to keep fighting.

Yes it is sad that the bombs were used -but it stopped the bloodshed. It brought an end to the war that could have lasted by some estimates 3 more years and cost 7 million more lives.

I am alive thanks to this effort A land invasion would have probably wiped out grandpa.

Fat Man and Little Boy weren't exploded just to satisfy the blood lust of President Truman and U s. military leaders.

but we were in the middle of a long bloody expensive and tragic war on two fronts that affected the entire world.

Viktor E. Frankl who lived through the horrors of a concentration camp said it well in Man's Search For Meaning:

A bloody costly war against people willing to commit mass suicide rather than surrender certainly qualifies as an abnormal situation.

If anyone wants to call the bombing evil be my guest. Provided you have some better alternative that would cost fewer lives fewer civilian lives less collateral damage

and less long-term suffering I'd love to hear it. http://www. pjtv. com/s/HAYDIHOW about an'infograph'about how many people are alive today thanks to the bombs?

If we had been using to use 12 nukes on military targets in the Korean war Macarthur could've obliterated China's ability to defend itself or N. Korea.

Oh plus then we wouldn't have to fight the same war again in Vietnam.

And all the proxy wars fought in Asia backed by Red china wouldn't have occurred. But no nukes=bad.

I'm not advocating for nuclear warfare today-the world is a more complex place

and warfare doesn't occur on a scale that warrants it to say the least.

because people understand all war and all tools of war are evil always forever. Let's let history be the judge of the rightness of using the atomic bomb.

Never think that war no matter how justified is not a crime. -Ernest Hemingway. âÂ#Âoethey have plundered the world stripping naked the land in their hungerã¢Â# they are driven by greed

if their enemy be rich; by ambition if poorã¢Â# They ravage they slaughter they seize by false pretenses and all of this they hail as the construction of empire.

And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert they call that peace. âÂ# âÂ#ÂTACITUS The Agricola and the Germaniain all history there is no war

which was hatched not by the governments the governments alone independent of the interests of the people to

whom war is always pernicious even when successful: Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoya people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern.

It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment.

It pays without discussion it ruins itself and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for

There are only two things we should fight For one is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

--Major general Smedley Butler USMC (1933) All of us have heard this term'preventive war'since the earliest days of Hitler.

I recall that is about the first time I heard it. In this day and time...I don't believe there is such a thing;

--Dwight Eisenhower in 1953 after being shown plans to launch a preventive war against the Soviet union;

-8 Million Jews before they died-3 Million invalids retards homosexuals gypsies etc before they died-20 Million Chinese from the 2nd Sinon War before they died (Japan occupation of China)- 10 to 100

Take your All war is evil. quotes and shove them. Aggression is often evil. War is one side defending itself against another aggressor.

Often they're both at fault. But typically one far more than another and particularly in this case one not at all.

In the whole of human history thus far nuclear weapons have been used in anger exactly twice seriously? I would normally would not resort to cussing

or getting ghetto on a sci forum but what the f k are you talking about?

For those that say dropping the bombs saved countless American military lives REALLY? So it's OK to kill civilians to protect troops?

WTF? You may feel different if it was your kids or you that was sacrificed. Airshipgirl Laurenra7 Others...

nuclear weapons have been used in anger exactly twice..This is about the political issue of using a nuclear weapon human beings.

A liberal view is that there is no excuse to do this and I get the feeling that is the point of this article.

A more simple example would have been A Nuclear Blast Visualized. Hmmm...smell like you may have stepped in some liberal doo doo?

That is why Einstein helped develop this weapon and use it. He was carried the biggest guilt of Hiroshima as it was his equation E=mc2 that made the realization that a small core of uranium could unleash huge amounts of power.

Einsteins urgency was to build the bomb before Hitler could. If Hitler or Japan had that Nuke first...

This was not just self defense it was defense of the entire human race. It was a winner.

and the rest of the world would have been crushed had any other Super Power had that bomb first.

You are most likely here today as a byproduct of the US dropping the bomb.

To the muhfukkin old Red Japanese army that bombed Pearl harbor and was trying to destroy the US...

or threats that take the basic freedoms of others. Do not try and bend the spoon.

I don't know how old you arebut apparently you know nothing about what was happening in the world at total war.

But the U s. knowingly dropped the nuclear bombs on civilians noncombatants. And to everyone making excuses to justify these actions tell me how better off we are because of the thousands of children that were murdered.

Were the children a threat?@@ssilletti If you recall most of our soldiers were drafted. And their civilians were rather fanatical.

Villagers resisted the US troops with bambo sticks. Children had strapped bombs to them. And beyond the resistance to the last man our troops would've faced (that would result in hundreds of thousands

or US casualties and Millions of Japanese'civilian'casualties) the Japanese people themselves vehemently believed that the US troops were berzerking monsters an threw themselves off of cliffs to their death to avoid being captured for fear of torture.

Also we didn't just go for civilian targets. Those cities were prime manufacturing hubs with army barracks steal companies and munition facilities.

It was Japan's fault for interweaving them in their civilian population. So in short-US Soldiers would've been fighting Japanese Civilians

so they aren't civilians. -US Soldiers drafted hard to really rank them above civilian-US suffered perhaps a million fewer casualties less.

Japanese suffered 5 or 20 million fewer dead. -Japan made civilians the targetbut I love how you place an infinite value on life

so that 200000 deaths is equivalent or worse than 20000000 as long as you act outraged enough. What a pathetic bubble you must live in.

Stay out of the world son it's a harsh scary place and it isn't for children.@

A threat to our soldiers and to themselves. As were all of the other children in Japan who were trained to suicide bomb tanks

and attack soldiers with knives and to commit suicide rather than being captured. Killing them stopped the war and saved others.

And again it wasn't just some glory-shot. The target cities were chosen because they were key manufacturing centers that directly supplied the coastal defenses where Operation Olympic was going to land.

had placed the Japanese those plants and barracks outside of the cities we would have been able to chose a worthwhile target with far fewer casualties.

Also we dropped Hiroshima. Japan was free to surrender. They didn't. Nagasaki is on their heads

And the civilians in Hiroshima on are their heads As well as are killed the millions the the firebombings leading up to the nuclear bombs

which by all accounts generating far more total destruction of cities and lives than the nuclear blasts.

This is precisely why America doesn't place military installations inside cities. Because it is unreasonable to expect in any way that you can use your own civilians as hostages to make the enemy not attack.@

@D49 follow this link at the time stamp. Great summary of what you're saying about the concept of America having overwhelming military superiority vs any other nation in history. http://www. youtube. com/watch?

feature=player detailpage&v=nuv0k8h8ilm&t=43hiroshima was only 16 kilotons. Today an average US nuke is 80 kilotons.

There is no theoretical limit to the size of a fission bomb. However the Hiroshima bomb had only one flash.

The blast radius is much larger also. If 2-3 nukes were dropped on Japan today most of the entire country of japan would be leveled burned

The sad part is that out of the some 11000 operational nukes around the world a small fraction of those bombs is all that would be needed to throw the entire planet into nuclear winter.

The detonation of a nuke is a 2 step process. 1.)Implode the core of fissile material. 2.)Send neutrons in at the same time to begin a chain reaction that causes the material to go critical.

The bottom line is saved those bombs more lives than they took. Without them the US would have been forced to invade the main islands of Japan

Those bombs ended the war. Actually the funny (not'ha-ha'but ironic) thing about these bombs is that they were completely unnecessary

and were of little if any significance in ending the war. Details here: www. foreignpolicy. com/articles/2013/05/29/the bomb didnt beat japan nuclear world war iimcd Xvice it must suck going through life like that.

Hvice how many Tutsi were killed in Rwanda in 1994? How many Jews died in the Holocaust? How many people were killed during the Crusades

A war winning ass-kicking might I add. Until the day comes when humans have evolved beyond religious differences greed idiocy fear

and self-righteousness we will continue to see war. Take your tree hugging anti-american bullshit and shove it up your asses.

Obviously neither of you have ever been in the military. At least we (US) fight for something.

And remember that we didn't attack Japan...they attacked us! Toss that around your brain in your next meditation circle.

and that there is a country in the world that fights for the freedom of the human race.

Because it isn't like there is actual visual footage of the bombing already...my co-worker's mother-in-law makes $87/hr on the laptop.

First we were not the ones that started the war. It wasn't the US that went into Europe and destroyed countless cities.

and killed and murdered millions of Chinese-yeah bayoneting babies in Nanking was something Japanese soldiers loved to do (photos don't lie).

They even held contest to see who could kill the most people with a sword.

More innocent people were killed in Nanking than all the people that died to the two bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He rarely talked about his time in the war but the one thing he never said was that the US shouldn't have dropped the bombs.

He and many others back then were grateful the war was brought to an end. He hated that he had to do

what he did but it was necessary -because the Germans and Japanese were hell bent on destroying the world.

If you seriously think that Japan would have surrendered without the dropping of the bombs-you need to go do some further research.

Go read about the battles of the Philippine islands and Okinawa. Read how the Japanese refused to surrender

Hundreds of thousands of Philippino's were killed-with their hands tied behind the backs and a bullet in the head.

You want the world to cry for the Japanese that died from the bombing of two cities?

Then when are the Japanese going to apologize for all the atrocities they committed during the war

Yes the atomic bombs were a horrible weapon -but there are far more horrible things people can do to one another

if the US had dropped not the bomb the Japanese would have fought on and today there might not be a Japan.

Yeah I can't understand why we stopped using the nuclear bomb...it is such a life saving device.

We should drop a bomb on every single group that is willing and capable of killing Americans.

It's an immediate solution to the war on terrorism war on drugs the threat of the axis of evil

U s. Spied On its WORLD WAR II Allies By TIM WEINER***The documents also show that the United states had information suggesting that top members of the Japanese Army were willing to surrender more than three months before the United states dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Since the situation is recognized clearly to be hopeless large sections of the Japanese armed forces would not regard with disfavor an American request for capitulation

even if the terms were hard a German diplomat reported to Berlin after talking with a ranking Japanese naval officer on May 5 1945 three days before Germany itself surrendered.

Passed Up Chain of Commandunited States intelligence analysts underscored this information as they passed it up the chain of command the records show.**

***Just as a possibility is another way to think of this instead of ending WWII is as the first act of the Cold war?

No-but it's also absurd to think that the atomic bomb was the only solution.

No reason to use such a force right? We already know that we are going to come in

and murder you with guns knives bombs and gas so why kill our hands-on fun?

Go hug trees somewhere else until you acknowledge that the US didn't create the sins of man that cause war.

We didn't even start the war. We ended it though. That is not weak. You are fucking weak

Good thing Einstein helped make that bomb a reality or they might have had some nukes with Hebrew names dropped on them too.

Amen and Jebediah don't sound threatening until they are written on the side of two A-bombs on their way to destroy Germany. lol.

Having read a 2 volume set on the submarine warfare in the Pacific and a biography of General Curtis Lemay

I might have discussed a different way to use the Atomic bombs. Submarine warfare in the Pacific may have started out slow

but by the beginning of 1945 Japan was suffering greatly from not getting ships in or out.

General Lemay was the inventor of low level night bombing with incendiary bombs. The firestorms killed more civilians than the two atomic bombs

and destroyed more of the Japanese war machine than the daylight raids which were only hitting about 5%of their targets.

I would have hoped to lure the Japanese Navy and Army to some island area we did need not

and wiped them out. Still I would not really argue in favor of invasion with Operation Downfall (Operations Olympic

and Cornet cover name). Too many islands enemies home ground homogenous society of fanatics typhoon weather close to the d-day and loss of anymore American lives.

Most important America had the atomic bomb and no one else.@@Chelle12linking particle accelerators to nuclear bombs just demonstrates your ignorance on the subject.

Your credibility is about zero now. Educate yourself! The treat nuclear weapons represent for humanity isn't coming from particle accelerators and associated research

which have nothing to do with a nuclear weapons. It is even not coming from research on nuclear weapons in countries already having them.

It is coming from proliferation of low-end nuclear weapons in countries which do not have it right now

and are trying to acquire the technology and know how to build their own arsenal. And we are talking here about technology it is no longer a research issue it is just a matter to acquire expertise on an existing technology.

Research in nuclear physics benefits to humanity in many manners. From characterization of materials to cancer therapy including energy production.

Associating nuclear research to weapons is naã Â ve. It almost looks like the energy field created by my perpetual motor n
