| Battleship Blücher sinks in WW1 |
 |
On 24 January 1915, Blücher was part of the
German squadron commanded by Vice Admiral
Franz Hipper that was surprised by a superior
British force of five battlecruisers, under
Vice Admiral David Beatty on HMS Lion, at the
Battle of Dogger Bank. Due to a
misunderstanding of Beatty's orders, the
British ships concentrated their fire on
Blücher, the slowest and rearmost ship of
the retreating German line of battle. She was
bombarded by heavy fire from four of the five
battlecruisers and finally sunk by torpedoes.
792 of her crew went down with her. 260 were
rescued by Beatty's ships.

beneath the waves, forever."

of fire on the Nazis. At Konzen, the Nazis
seem immovable until Yank artillery destroy
their observation post, a towering church
steeple. Idle ack ack crews are pressed into
service in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest. They
level their gun barrels to horizontal, and
pour continuous streams of lead into Nazi
positions, enabling Yank Infantry to resume
its advanture." scenes of Allies advance in
snow and mud in Huertgen Forest, antiaircraft
guns turned into artillery;

| Model Titanic Sinks |
 |
This is an 18" Revell-Monogram R.M.S. Titanic
kit, built with twelve "watertight"
compartments separated by plastic bulkheads
similar in height to those on the actual
Titanic. The vessel is weighted to float at
the proper waterline, and the starboard bow
has been holed at the location of the iceberg
impact on the historic vessel.
This model is missing the propellers, rudder,
and mainmast -- all were damaged either
during sinkings or in storage. It also needs
some work to maintain a proper "hang time" at
the vertical position during the final
plunge. Otherwise, the sinking is quite
realistic, with the final plunge beginning
just after the bridge goes under.

| World Sinks Except Japan Theatrical Trailer (2006) |
 |
Trailer for the parody of the Japanese
Mega-Blockbuster Sinking of Japan. World
Sinks Except Japan came out in 2006. Sorry no
subs but it is out on legit Region 3 DVD with
English subs.
What would happen if all the continents in
the world sank, leaving only Japan above
water? With its tongue stuck firmly in its
cheek that's exactly what this film explores.
Now the only superpower in the world, Japan
is able to dictate the law. English as the
global language? Not any more. Whale meat
back on the menu? You bet. This is a world
where 12.5 million non-Japanese refugees are
homeless and Schwarzenegger is reduced to
performing tricks in bars for money. This
hilarious satire pokes fun at global
superpowers, western traditions and foreign
immigrants. And remember, it could happen!
