In this case “ uso “ means incredible , as in this can’t really be happening .

Thanks...I definitely got the drift of that interpretation. I cannot imagine what it would be like to watch that.

When I was in the USN, I saw a plane crash one night trying to land on the carrier. I had a birds-eye view, and I think I may have been the only person on the forward part of the flight deck who saw it from that perspective. I had the most unreal feeling, as I saw an F14 climb slowly in front of the ship, then stall, and slowly fall into the ocean.

I remember thinking “I can’t believe this. 40 million dollars just descending in slow motion towards the ocean right in front of me and disappearing without a trace, and two men dead...just like that.” (They punched out, but I didn’t see it)

But that comparatively small feeling of disbelief, multiplied overwhelmingly by thousands of times, seeing houses, buses, trains, ships and people all being swept away in front of your eyes is simply unimaginable.

Unimaginable.
