Wow!
That was really well done.
I have read the book but not yet seen the movie.
I'm not sure what I would do if I were ever brought face to face with the Bird.

Bullies are always cowards.

An inspiration channel had a really good documentary on him yesterday. Just wow, to have survived all that is incredible! What a lucky lucky man! I don't think I would have been as fortunate. Just 40 some days in a life raft is unthinkable. :shock:


RIP Mr. Zamperini. :(


P.S. As for the bird, although I am young I don't have much of a likeness for Japanese even today. To teach their school kids false history and how the U.S. was the aggressor and committed evil acts is unforgiving! :evil: Didn't you know the Japanese didn't attack Pearl Harbor? :roll:
