Your Story - Near Miss - Zach Allen

Zach Allen was featured on the very first Your Story, which we aired almost exactly one year ago. Zach was a lieutenant in the Navy when his story took place. It was early December, 1963. He was aboard a 120 foot minesweeper, leaving Guantanamo Bay for the US when his captain decided to head straight into an incredibly violent storm.  Zach's ship nearly capsized.

I went up on the bridge. The captain lay curled up on the bridge sucking his thumb.  I've never seen anything like it in my life: curled up in fetal position, sucking his thumb.
