Doesn't look too bad. Seen much worse carrier vids. I was expecting fireballs...


Patmack? Where are you?

Is this the fanblade failure at M1.0? I heard both dudes got out ok.

 

[Fury220]

Yup, this is the video I was thinking about.

You can hear the dudes yelling "two parachutes!" as they set up for rescue.

Shame to see a Tomcat go like that

Wow that second one had to be worth a BIG "punched grumpy" X2

Patmack? Where are you?

Not on a warship.

Not on a warship.

I meant "when are you going to comment in this thread," not "where are you in the video..."

but whatever

LSO coulda sent him around for any number of reasons.

Coulda, but didn't. That dude was sent around because he was about to imprint the name of the ship on his own forehead. He's practically climbing up above deck level when he comes into view. And I'm guessing he also got a little counseling on his "come left". Normal day at the boat. Man, I miss that stuff.
