Salyer 2
The Ourang Medan
In 1948 a Dutch Freighter was found in the straits of Malacca.
All of the crew was mysteriously found dead. When an American freighter tried to tow the ship ashore the Ourang Medan mysteriously exploded. There are many theories about why this happened but nobody knows for sure.
Was it a flaw in the ship? Was it caused by something paranormal?
Perhaps it was UFO’s or the government. Nobody will ever know what happened to the crew of the Ourang Medan.
Some parts are bad but could be explained. While others are a bit creepy.
Multiple listening posts and a couple of ships picked up the distress call of the Ourang
Medan. All the person on the other end told them was that the crew was dead but then it went silent again. The last thing they heard from him was a horrific message. All he said was “I die“ then the signal went blank.
When an American ship boarded the Ourang Medan they were shocked.
The ship was completely silent. The bodies of the Ourang Medan’s crew were scattered.
The bodies had terrified expressions on their faces and some were even pointing at something. They even found a dog with a terrified expression on its face. Mysteriously no body was ever found in the room where the distress call was sent from.

Unfortunately before they could tow the ship back to shore smoke began pouring out of the ship. The Americans luckily made it off the ship before it exploded.
Nobody knows what caused the Ourang Medan to explode. Some say that whatever caused the ship to explode was also responsible for the death of the crew members. There are many theories that try to explain ...

...re many theories but the truth is forever lost at the bottom of the ocean. Don’t let it pick at you. There are many mysteries like this one. Don’t lose sleep at night knowing you’ll never know. Just move on and think of it as a cool part of history.

At 11:54 p.m., Hashimoto ordered 6 readied torpedoes at a depth of 4 meters and a speed of 48 knots. Next, Hashimoto had the torpedoes fired at the ship. At 12:02 p.m., the first explosion came and then the second. Red flames shot up lighting up the darkness. Smoke soon followed.
All power all lights were lost forward. The fact that the [torpedo] hits were there, at least we think they were up forward, are borne out by the fact we have almost no Marines who were reported in that section of the ship. We have not a single steward's mate and their compartment was up there and we have very few officers that were in their rooms at the time of the explosion. So we believe all of those people were killed almost instantly.
Many people have researched into this. They have uncovered unbelievable facts and have developed extremely intriguing theories. Theories which get even professionals to rethink their opinions on his death actually happening.Even the most skeptical people have changed their opinions. I am not writing this essay to change people opinions. I am writing this essay to bring out all of the facts and theories. By doing this I can perhaps bring people to see what can be a monstrous coincidence or the greatest scam I have ever heard of in my life.
The capture of Lee Harvey Oswald may be forgotten by most, but how it was carried out still baffles me.

They took off without any problems. The weather was pleasant and they were fully equipped and ready. Until 3:45 p.m., the tower operators in Fort Lauderdale received a bizarre message from the flight leader, Lt. Charles Taylor. Lt. Taylor reported that they could not see land and that they were off-course. He also reported that they were lost. Baffled, the tower operators told Lieutenant Taylor to go westward, but he answered that they did not know which way west was.
Serpens ship had its devastating final sail. The ship suddenly exploded in Guadalcanal and near Lunga beach. There were more than 250 sailors on board the U.S.S. Serpens, and just like any regular day, they were carrying explosives and other goods. JR Potts writes in “ USS Serpens (AK-97),” “No one knew if this was an accident or an enemy attack, but after a long investigation it was classified as unknown [...]" (Potts). Sadly, it was only an average Monday when these sailors would unknowingly take their last breath. Similar to that, only a few of the many on board lived after the event. The U.S. Coast Guard writes in the text, “U.S.S Serpens AK-97,” “Only two of those on board, Sn 1/c Kelsie K Kemp and Sn 1/c George J Kennedy, who had been in the boatswain’s locker, survived” (U.S. Coast Guard). That being said, only around 1% of the people on board survived. Around 60 dock-workers, a physician, and almost 200 crew members were wiped out. This terrifying explosion on the U.S.S. Serpens ship changed the way the U.S. Coast Guard runs,
... missiles at us, and then a year later, JFK was killed. Many people still believe that Oswald did it out of spite, but since he had such a history with Cuba, Mexico, Russia/ Soviet Union, and the Marines such theories have emerged. Many of the high, “I would die if this was false” theorist think that the footage of JFK’s death was edited, others think that the originals were burned, and replaced. The most evidence of the conspiracy was after Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, Jack was then arrested, for killing a man, but the man he killed had killed the president. Everyone would have suspected Ruby to be thanked by our nation, only to find out that he had been punished, for murdering a man. Now even Ruby is a part of the conspiracy. Still though how could our brains not be tempted to come up with something different (almost everything has a conspiracy to it) instead?
What comes into one’s mind when they are asked to consider physical disabilities? Pity and embarrassment, or hope and encouragement? Perhaps a mix between the two contrasting emotions? The average, able-bodied person must have a different perspective than a handicapped person, on the quality of life of a physically disabled person. Nancy Mairs, Andre Dubus, and Harriet McBryde Johnson are three authors who shared their experiences as physically handicapped adults. Although the three authors wrote different pieces, all three essays demonstrate the frustrations, struggles, contemplations, and triumphs from a disabled person’s point of view and are aimed at a reader with no physical disability.
This was the only theory that could make sense to me when considering all the suspects,
The court of Bolzano, South Tyrol, found this completely implausible and awarded the first discovery to the German couple.
"It tumbled over the edge and began to spread out over their heads—drifting on a layer of cold, dank air rising from the pool below them. Jesus. Gas." (Findley, 137)
At 4:26 p.m. Fort Everglades Rescue intercepted a transmission from FT-28. Immediately, the rescue team called several stations along the coast and asked them to turn on their radar and attempt to locate the lost flight. At 6:04 p.m. Lieutenant Taylor radioed his flight crew to tell them they were off course and needed to adjust their course to a more ea...
An Eastern Air Lines Lockheed L-1011 crashed at 2342 eastern standard time, December 29, 1972, 18.7 miles west-northwest of Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida. The aircraft was destroyed. Of the 163 passengers and 13 crewmembers aboard, 94 passengers and 5 crewmembers received fatal injuries. Two survivors died later as a result of their injuries.
Although the definite cause of the explosion still remains a mystery, the death of the members on board of the USS Maine persists to live on, marking the end of a new beginning.
