A lateral tunnel running off the main Malinta Tunnel on Corregidor Island lies in ruins 75 years after attacks and intentional detonations by the Japanese as seen May 10, 2017. The main tunnel served as a Headquarters for the Army and housed hundreds of people during the war and subsequent siege by Japanese Forces. Lt. James Crotty tried to defend the position until American and Filipino Forces were overwhelmed. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Chief Petty Officer Sara Muir/Released)
