Not as new as you'd think, either: In 1918, animation pioneer Winsor McCay created the silent short film "The Sinking of the Lusitania", showing the RMS Lusitania being torpedoed by German U-boats. With remarkably realistic drawings, the film was presented as a documentary, but the visuals were imagined, based on verbal accounts and supposition. It functioned largely as a propaganda piece to increase anti-German sentiment during WWI. The simulated sinking of the Korean ship in the article has nothing on this. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sinking_of_the_Lusitania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sinking_of_the_Lusitania http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=nN-KdPBhyjc http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=nN-KdPBhy...
