Part 9 of 10.

On July 21, 1961, astronaut Gus Grissom blasted off on the second American-manned space flight. When his capsule splashed down 300 miles off the coast of Florida and the hatch prematurely blew open, Grissom barely escaped, but the Liberty Bell 7 flooded and sank. Now, 38 years later, undersea explorers set out on an impossible mission, combing a 24-square-mile area in search of something the size of a refrigerator - 3 miles below the surface. An American hero, Gus Grissom died in the tragic Apollo I fire, but his legacy lives on, as his original capsule is found. Startling facts are revealed, ending a mystery that has haunted our conscience for decades!
