Quite the story, though I would have to sign up with Medium to see it all, but which testifies to the overall character and integrity of yesteryear. A version made conformable to contemporary liberalism would have pilot Ford being a married homosexual; First Officer John Mack would be a women; Leach the radioman would be a Greenpeace activist; the second radioman Poindexter would be living with his girlfriend, telling her he would be late for dinner.
The secret orders would have been leaked to the Washington Post, which orders Pan Am rejected due to protests that this would increase Global Warming, while the LA Times would describe the attack on Pearl Harbor as being America’s fault due to the Japanese being victims of American imperialism.
The crew would be heroically escaping from American military acquisition, but the Boeing Clipper would have undisclosed critical faults, while the NY Times would be working on an expose of Manhattan Project.
And America would soon be speaking German.
Great story, thanks for posting it
If such an event happened now, some of the cruise ship passengers would first learn about it when the crewless ship they were on ran aground on a reef.
