Video Description

It was a routine test aboard USS Iowa. Inside Turret Two, the massive 16-inch guns prepared to fire. The right gun was reported loaded. Seconds later, the left gun followed suit. But something was wrong with the center gun. A message crackled over the turret's phone circuit: [QUOTE] "We have a problem here. We are not ready yet. We have a problem here." The preparations continued despite the warning. Standard procedure rapidly deteriorated into confusion. The crew of Turret Two worked frantically to resolve the issue. Warning signs multiplied as seconds ticked by. Then came a final, desperate cry piercing through the communication system: [QUOTE] "Oh, my God! The powder is smoldering!" A powerful and deadly new experiment was about to go totally wrong.
