Synopsis:
About 300 of the 1,195 sailors died in the blast. The rest of the sailors jumped overboard, only to end up in the Philippine Sea, which was filled not only with salt water but also with vast amounts of oil and sharks. Only 317 sailors would survive three and a half days at sea. This is their story.
