I had heard several years ago that Steven Spielberg had bought the rights to a screenplay to do the Indy story. But that's been rather a long time ago. Anyone have an update?

Today's the anniversary of the sinking of the Indy. It was 64 years ago I think.

Does anybody know where I can get deck plans of the Indy? I was hoping to be able to study and get a sense of where these people were, and being able to accurately guess the condition of the wreck today since it hasn't been found yet.

I wish I could have one percent of the courage those boys had in my every day life.. I get damned stress if my clothes take too long to dry....If my favorite ball team doesn't d...

A survivor of the crew is a member of our church and in the hospital. He is not much of a church goer and I do not know him that well. The prognosis for long term must not be good and with HIPPA I am reluctant to give his name. I would like advice. Do the survivors or supporters ever send cards or have an organ...

Last year I did a history day project on the USS Indianapolis, and Mr. O'Donnell did an interview for us. We wanted to send him a copy of our final product, but we never did. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to contact him because I lost his contact information. Thank you so so much!

In these most modern of times, could complacency like the events of the USS INDIANAPOLIS again take place? The advances of modern weaponry still does not change the human nature of man. But again, could such an event take place and leave all of us in awe? The answer-yes it could because the event its...
