Those Yorktown carriers had about 3,000 people on them. It probably lost about 5% of its crew when it was being attacked. "The final resting place of so many of her brave crew" is kinda overdone seeing as how they'd probably pulled many of those casualties off the ship before they set about scuttling her.

Still damn cool, especially the interview with the sailor, but leave it to network news shows to go for the heart strings just for shits and grins.
It clearly states 140 souls were lost. If your takeaway was 2000, you have a reading comprehension issue.

The irony of you chastising me for reading comprehension issues when I spoke directly to a video ought not be lost on you...
