Tanker Blasted Out Of Water Off the Jersey coast, a tanker torpedoed in 1942 is blown up with 15 tons of TNT, after it proves a menace to navigation. There's a few men on board this boat which seems to be a ways from shore. One of the men is assisting another putting on his deep sea helmet. The diver climbs down the latter and goes into the ocean. The sailors fills a bag with explosives and sends it on its way down to the diver. You see bubbles coming up to the top of the water where the diver is under water. A explosion takes place a few hundred feet away from the boat. There's debris floating on top of the water no sign of the diver.
