Right after the Japanese torpedoes hit the USS Indianapolis, around 917 people made it off the boat safely.

Who delivered Fat Man bomb to Tinian Island?
The USS Indianapolis I got interested in this because all the accounts of the USS Indianapolis going to Tinian only mention "Little Boy."

However, the plutonium for the core was flown in by four separate C-54 airplanes called "Green Hornets."
