Its is actually beginning to appear like Taylor was struck by spatial disorientation and panicked. I'm surprised he was ever able to find a carrier when he couldn't find Florida......though it just dawned on me that he was probably following people at that time and not leading them.

That is a lie.

There are a number of small African and Asian countries that dump more ocean trash than the US.

Most Ocean Plastic Pollution Carried by 10 Rivers
90% of ocean plastic carried by 10 rivers - none in the US.


Further the claim it harms wildlife is kind of biased:

Carriers are big and float in the Atlantic. Florida does not float in the Atlantic. Not sure what this has to do with the story.

It is called leading from behind.


None of the planes were found. Taylor for whatever reason got confused about where he was when his compass stopped working and mistook islands in the Bahamas for the Keys.

They were where they were supposed to be until they assumed they weren't and went off schedule.

If he had flown into the sun he would have been ok.

Flight 19 was trying to find Florida....and compared to that even the Midway Class carriers were small.

He wasn't squadron commander of Torpedo 7 on the Hancock.....when it was in the Pacific. The aircraft carriers in the Atlantic were much smaller.

Pls explain the sharp difference between Alaska and Canada

Alaska is closer to Russia and Canada is larger.

Oh, you mean the color. Alaska is part of the US. Plus the map is from 2010 and the US should be one shade lighter.

Countries Putting The Most Plastic Waste Into The Oceans

Egypt is the source of of about 10 times as much plastic as the US.

8 million tons of plastic is dumped into the world's oceans each year | Daily Mail Online
All of the US produces 77,000 tons of ocean plastic waste. Alaska is part of the US. Unless the "Deadliest Catch" crews or Hawaiians are unusually sloppy and wasteful it is mostly from the CONUS.


5 countries dump more plastic into the oceans than the rest of the world combined

It is mostly Asians.

Taylor was the only one who had seen combat.....but that's why it was a training flight so they can gain experience.

Also spatial disorientation is some they didn't know about then.

He wasn't spaciallly disoriented. He thought the islands around the Bahamas were the Florida keys. He was just sh*tty at orienteering.
