Some may recall the shocking announcement on national TV April 10, 1963.
the fairly new USS Thresher nuclear submarine, first of a series, sank / imploded at 0918 hours with the loss all 129 hands.
For fifty years the US Navy's Official Board of Inquiry pegged the cause as a frozen compressed air valve which prohibited the sub from blowing it's ballast tanks and surfacing. This turned out not to be the primary cause however.

August 3, 1961
Here's USS Thresher's Commissioning graphic with aspects, fixed stars and asteroids marked.
There are several more graphics that may assist us in understanding a profound mystery.
What did Lt. Cmdr. John W. Harvey, b. Sept. 4, 1927, Bronx, N.Y., bring to this dramatic event?
By all accounts he was a USN "rising star" with a fine academic record.
And yet, it appears Lt. Cmdr. Harvey had breathtaking personal phantoms.
If one doesn't deal with their mythic fears in a creative and positive fashion; how are those fears made manifest in the real world?
Can releasing fear empower us to do more; to see further?
