Discovery Channel Documentary on the USS Orskinny

[Tatakai]

I watched the sinking of the Big O on the Discovery Channel wandering if anyone else got the chance to see it as well. Was interesting but was to short to cover alot of the good stuff. It showed the sinking and then had a small bit of the divers down after it sank. It did show a diver that blacked out while the ship was in mooring for some reason. Never said what happened to him but he was walking after a bit. Hope they re-air the show so I can watch it again.

Agree, it was a good documentary. Usually Discovery repeats these shows--hope so.

It's a great dive, though mostly just the island and maybe a touch on the flight deck, unless you're rigged for deep/tech. Maybe the show will encourage more divers out to the "Mighty O".

Good show, wish they had showed a little more of the u/w scene

Same comment: good show, but too little underwater footage, i kept checking the clock thinking "this show is about to end, won't they show anything u/w"?

Still, it definitely looks awe-inspiring.
