"When the torpedo hit and exploded, the GQ alarm went off, and Alphonso hurried to his GQ station. He had no idea that it was his GQ station that was blown apart by the torpedo. Al had to slow down because it was dark and the ship was filled with fiery smoke. He had to walk over bodies that were also blown apart laying on a bloodied deck. "I had to slow down and stop when someone grabbed me from behind," Al said. "But when I turned to see who it was, there was nobody there". Al said he thought for a second and returned to his engine room. Later Al said that if he had taken another step forward, he would have fallen into the sea. Al believed it was the hand of God that turned him around.
