...when a satchel charge was thrown into a torpedo bunker.

As a former Marine Corps Combat Engineer, this made my hair stand on end and sent me off on a backstory research quest. A couple of hundred guys lost their lives in that incident.

I was standing in the “hole” created by that blast and realized that after looking at the charts made prior to the blast it took out a bunch of shoreline too. It looks like a natural shoreline but you just know anyone anywhere near that blast lost their lives. The concussion was one thing but it also threw out an enormous amount of sand and coral with it.

Here is one photo of that explosion. The title reads there were 40 torpedoes that went off.
