My Dad's cousin was on the California, and was blown off it into the water with an explosion.
He was reported missing, supposed kia to his parents who then went ahead and had a wake, etc in their home town.
Their grief turned to ectasy when he sent them a telegram 10 days after the attack, alive and well.
