Over mankind’s short time on this earth, War has evolved from chaotic bloodshed to hard science. It is based on deliberate chemical reactions to control machines and create devastation. We have become so comfortable with our control over such a science that we forget that the weapons we weild are mere seconds from disaster at any given moment. In this episode, we are going to examine a tragic case of what happens when we lose control of our weapons. This is the story of the deadly 1967 USS Forrestal fire which occurred during the tempo of combat operations during the Vietnam War. Welcome to Wars of the World.
