Description: 'On This Day 1982: Falklands War - HMS Sheffield Sinks' Here, the Sheffield’s Captain, James Salt, talks about the Argentine attack – the very short warning his crew received, the missile’s impact and aftermath. The Exocet blew a huge hole in the ship’s side and led to an inferno on board - with some of the metal glowing red with the heat. Twenty of Sheffield’s crew died in the attack and the ship later sank, on May 10, 1982. #Falklands40 #HMSSheffield #FalklandsWar #History #Archive 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest On This Day videos!) - youtube.com/c/OnThisDayITNP 🎥 Follow us on Twitter - twitter.com/OnThisDayITNP 🎥 Like us on Facebook - facebook.com/OnThisDayITNP 🎥 Check out our TikTok - tiktok.com/@onthisdayitnp
