Unbelievable Photos That Were Declassified by the CIA

Prisoner of War John McCain

In this heartbreaking photo, John McCain can be seen getting captured by enemy troops in Hanoi, Vietnam. His plane was shot down and he crash-landed in a body of water. He was a prisoner of war for five and a half years. He suffered from fractures in his right leg and both arms after the crash and received minimal care for those injuries. He survived his imprisonment and went back to the US in 1972. He became a Senator in 1987 and served until his death in 2018.
