...mile from the spot where the first box had been found. Engineers at the site expressed surprise that the craft had been able to operate so well at a depth from which only a handful of successful recoveries have ever been made. The Scarab, which is designed to dive to 6,000 ft., had never before worked so far below the ocean surface...
...high loop, point their planes downward and crisscross paths at a 45° angle. It was during that precisely timed climax that Gershon's plane and another A-4 collided. The pilot of the other plane ejected and parachuted to safety, but Gershon's plane went into a dive that ended in a fiery crash...
Between your second and third fingers is where the Enola Gay dropped the Bomb at 8:15 a.m. on Aug. 6. Once relieved of its nearly 9,000-lb. burden, the plane thrust upward, jerking the heads of the crew. The B-29 made a 60° dive and a 158° right turn. Forty-three seconds after the Bomb was released, it detonated. The crew members watched it explode in a red core below them. Then they headed back to base, the tiny island of Tinian in the Northern Marianas, 1,600 miles to the south...

Before long, the two of them are in bed together, with the TV again bearing witness: "About nine we started to make love but then quit in the middle of things and went for a walk. We got hamburgers at a beach dive called the Rubber Shack that specialized in scuba gear, then went back to the motel. She fell asleep ten minutes into David Letterman...
...Have these two earthquakes finally relieved the region's tectonic stress? A: Don't bet on it. The area off the coast of Sumatra is a subduction zone, a highly unstable region where the India Plate, the Australia Plate, the Sunda Plate and the Burma Micro-Plate collide and dive beneath one another. Earthquakes tend to occur in clusters in subduction zones, and McCloskey says his initial findings indicate that the latest quake has accentuated the stress along the Sunda Trench fault for another 300 km south. The result is like the steady growth of a crack...
