It happened. And Americans are that arrogant. And stupid. It was outside Spain. You can find the actual discourse off youtube. I just don't have the link.

This is one of the oldest jokes in maritime history and no, this never happened. Nice job on the video, though.

This NEVER happened.
Check out Snopes.com for "The Obstinate Lighthouse' story.

I'm surprised they even warned the lighthouse they were going to fire a missile!

@IuniusPalladius -cos its easier to think americans did do something that stupid than it is to think they didn't!

@wwwaaarrrggghhh Well, I've yet to uncover a single peice of evidence. First of all, by 1995, all lighthouses were automated, so the exchange wouldn't have taken place. Secondly, this joke is very very old and retold in several different forms (i.e. changing the name of the ship and the location). Check out snopes. com for "the obstinate lighthouse" for the full backstory.
and if the French hadn't helped us in our Independence, we'd still be speaking English... er wait...
