deadstrangeblog: In 1965, American solider Jeremiah Denton’s aircraft was shot down in North Vietnam and he was captured, becoming a Prisoner of War for an agonising 8 years. For four years, he endured solitary confinement. For the remaining four, he was beaten and tortured by the opposition. Eventually, his captors forced him to participate in a Vietnamese propaganda film which was broadcast back to the United States. During the false interview, Denton blinked his eyes in Morse Code, spelling out the word T-O-R-T-U-R-E. After seeing this, The Office of Naval Intelligence promptly acted and Denton, along with several other POW’s, was rescued. -- source link
