The wreckage of the American Warship, USS Indianapolis, that was once used to carry the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, was just recently found after 72 years. The warship went down in only twelve minutes, which was far too quick for any distress signals to be sent out. Out of 1,197 crew members on board, 900 survived the initial sinking, but only 316 lived to be rescued. Paul Allen was in charge of the search team in which just uncovered this missing piece of history.
