as the world prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of d-day and the landings of normandy that changed the course of world war ii, a u.s. robotics company used an unmanned sub to record detailed images of two ships that were sunk by the germans during the what was a secret rehearsal for the mission called operation tiger. 749 americans were lost. their deaths on board. two naval ships were cloaked in secrecy as to not give the operation away. wreckage was found in about 165 feet of water in the english channel. >>> it got its name from the chewing gum empire, and tonight wrigley field is celebrating its 100 birthday. it's, of course, home to the chicago cubs. let's just say cubs' fans are a special breed and hardy bunch and love the friendly confines. just don't look up to the score board for a video replay at the play at the plate. there's no screen. it is manually operated by a guy inside changing the numbers. along with the bricks and ivy and general feel of the place, it is truly among the great cathedrals of sports at the corner of clark and ad son on chicago's north side. >>> it'
