[Hebrews 11:6]

30 planes flying 900 liberated POWs from Manila to Okinawa were downed by Typhoon Ursula

That's stunning! We seldom hear anymore about planes being downed by typhoons, etc. I presume it's because weather forecasting has improved greatly since then, especially with satellite imagery.

Oddly enough, I have not been able to find any information about this; one would think that it would be as well-covered in the internet as, say, the USS Indianapolis tragedy. I'm hoping someone else here will be more successful in searching.
