Met an old Quartermaster CPO in Newport, RI who was on the cruiser Vicksburg (I think).
He maintained that Bunker Hill was closer to sinking than Franklin, but that due to the heavier censorship at that time, the story didn't get out.
Also, he swore there was a reel of film shot on Bunker Hill that was suppressed due to the graphic casualties.  Could be somewhere in the Archives, I suppose.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Even if the video exists, I'm probably good with not seeing it.
