Victor - I'm scratching my head trying to recall the name of this one... but many years ago I saw a old B/W war movie in which a cargo ship was torpedoed by a german submarine... in one particularly horrific scene there is a lone sailor trapped below decks in the engine room.... the ship is sinking and the room is being flooded with thousands of gallons of oil... for what seemed like forever you watch him desperately struggle until he finally drowns in the stinking black goop.... what a nightmare... I cannot think of a more horrible way to die.On a slightly less horrific note, the history channel has been running an absolutely superb documentary on WWI that is available as 8-hour set on VHS tape for $99.... the footage is astounding, and there are several interviews with 100+ year old vets who recount their part in the war... the terrible conditions they endured are simply heartbreaking and the footage showing the rapid progression of "mechanical warfare" offers a frightening insight into man's capacity to create new and more effective weapons to destroy itself... after seeing this series I really did come to understand meaning behind the phrase "war is hell"... and I'm not ashamed to admit that I weeping freely at much of what I saw. Just a terrible, terrible time in our history.
