One Torpedo Almost Started WW3 in 2010Added:
March 26th, 2010. A South Korean warship was patrolling routine waters near North Korea. Without warning, a massive explosion ripped the vessel in half. 46 sailors died instantly as freezing seawater flooded the broken hull.
Investigators found torpedo [music] fragments, metal pieces that didn't belong to South Korea. Survivors described a blast so powerful it felt like the ocean itself had erupted beneath them. The evidence pointed to one terrifying conclusion. North Korea had launched a surprise attack. Two nations with nuclear weapons stood on the edge of total war. One torpedo nearly triggered World War III.
