Miracle at Sea- 2,500 Escape Death in Ship Collision (part 1 of 2); July 1956; There are aerial views of the ocean, forty five miles off of Nantucket, showing the luxury liner, Andrea Doria, lying titled into the ocean, after colliding with the liner, Stockholm. There is footage of the Stockholm with its crushed hull able to continue onto New York City. On Nantucket we see as injured passengers are removed from helicopters on stretchers. Then back to the Andrea Doria, we see it half in the ocean with objects floating away from it.
