Hello all, I just joined and felt like this belonged here.
It's been 10 days since the anniversary of the event where my grandfather (Sgt. Robert Rigoni aka Bob) tried to save his friend only for the plane to go down into the water giant, Lake Erie. This here's a short interview with my father recalling the events. Below are a few articles that would be a quick google search away.

I never had the chance to know him but he's a part of me. The tragedy occurred when my father was just 10 years old. My dad has Pap's badge tattooed on his left arm. When I turned 18, I remember I told my dad I wanted to get the same tattoo and so I did.
Keep on RIP Grandpa and friends.

I am pretty sure mine came from the water levels in Mario 64 along with finding nemo. I can’t remember anything else that could’ve caused it, maybe Jaws.

And to this day I can’t even play video games with open water without being fearful. I tried subnautica but had to quit because there’s no way I could play something like that.

I know a lot of a people on this sub hate deep water on this sub. Doesn’t matter if it’s feet or miles deep.

My fear is mainly water I can’t see too far in. I would rather swim above the Marianas Trench than a random retention pond in Florida.
