睡了约三个小时,怎么也回不了梦,于是仰卧起坐。。。
烧开水,冲咖啡,返车队。
小修,两个小时。
过海关,队排两英里,四个小时。
第一次去Chicago Heights,还好,不难找。
不敢耽搁时间,还要去Morrisville IN,勾,需要三个小时。
Indianapolis IN,不是这个城,而是同名的那艘舰艇,
背后的故事如下:
“... sunk by a Japanese submarine on July 30, 1945, shortly after delivering the internal components of the atomic bombs that were later dropped on Hiroshima and … ”
秘密运送原子弹的构成零部件,才有的,广岛上空的抛下。。。不几天,这艘舰艇,被日本潜艇击沉,时间:1945年7月30日。
详细,
“USS Indianapolis served President Roosevelt as ship of state, and Admiral Spruance as the 5th Fleet flagship in WWII. She fought gallantly through many campaigns, earning ten battle stars. Her final top-secret mission was to carry parts of the first atomic bomb used in combat to a U.S. airbase on Tinian. ”
印第安纳波利斯号舰艇,乃美军第五舰队的旗舰,效忠罗斯福,舰长Admiral Spruance。该舰经历过多次战斗,荣获十项奖勋。唯一执行过的秘密任务,就是负责运输原子弹所需重要部件,前往提安尼海军基地。
Just a few nights later, on July 30th, she fell prey to a Japanese submarine. In the next twelve minutes of fire and chaos, about 330 of her crew would be lost with the ship, and the rest--some 860 men--would be left alone in the Pacific in the middle of the night. For the next 5 days, without food or water, the crew battled the elements, dodged shark attacks, and clung to life as best they could.
不几个夜晚之后,就是7月30日,她遭遇了日本潜艇。仅仅十二分钟的时长,330名船员丧生,剩余860名男士,侥幸活在夜半的海面。长达5日之久,没有食物和饮水,还要跟鲨鱼作斗争。。。
Her sinking led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. Of the 1,195 sailors and marines on board, only 316 survived.
她的沉没,创下美军海战最大伤亡记录。1195名海员和士兵,316名存活。。。
哎呀呀,走过了!
错过计划中的路口,转回来时,谷歌导航选择另一条路,看是高速,为什么jps显示local?仔细看更方便到达。
穿过火车路,对面有路牌显示“notruck” ,幸好错过了那个路口。
晚间歇车pilot,69north。里面有个酒吧,点了一瓶Heineken,zero酒精。
。。。北约克 ON,Delaware OH,Zug island MI。。。
想起队友曾经笑说,“I mean,we bombed Hiroshima,yeah,but look at Detroit now,don’t we look bombed?”
再过一周,就是圣诞节

我也是偶尔发现的,震惊,准备找电影来看
