Whats with the railing/netting at the edge of it? Surely the Navy personnel know what would happen, if a heli gets caught in it? That happens ^ But RIP those 7 men lost in this tragic accident. My condolences to the families of those lost.

@BAFVids The netting and railing is to help sailors and crewman get back onto the deck if they slipped and fell, and they would have something to grab onto.

Imagine what it must be like to crash into the ocean. It's dark, cold, scary, surrounded by a metal "cage." Struggling to get free, only to be drug to the depths of the ocean.

RIP those who died / were affected by the crash.

All were reported missing and now presumed dead after their CH-46 helicopter got

tangled with the netting on the USNS Pecos and the pilot lost control and was pitched

upside down into the pacific ocean off Point Loma, CA

[Ralroost]

I've heard that pilots hate the Sea Knight. Is that true? Also is this why the boats were following the ship?
