Aircraft Carrier Accident

[TXejas19]

flight deck is no joke....shit gets real (especially when pitching or night time)

[Skybolter]

THAT FUCKING HURTS BADLY, THIS IS BULLSHIT

[Skybolter]

THAT FUCKING HURTS BADLT, THIS IS BULLSHIT

[MadTarnsman]

@must2656..."stupid Americans"...????? I was ONE of those "stupid" Americans from '73-'76 with VA-153 out of LeMoore CA aboard the USS Oriskany CV-34 during its last cruise in '76-'77!! You've obviously never been on a flight deck, nor trained for anything else of use, so just shut your foreign trap and thank us!!!

[Wangyish]

that wasnt very nice

[must2656]

Stupid americans

[AlwaysWishing1983]

Major ouch!

[humanbeer]

This is what happens when republicans are in the white house.

[batvette]

@humanbeer yeah well every Democrat in the white house since FDR has been a sorry ass excuse when the job turned to CinC, ESPECIALLY JFK, though Clinton was almost as bad.

Gotta love Kennedy's "finest hour"... letting his little brother exploit Kruschev's humility and save the world from armageddon in a countdown JFK started for vanity after bay of pigs showed the world he had no backbone. It's good to have a balance of parties trading leadership even if most of it is a dog and pony show.

[humanbeer]

@batvette So who bagged that bin laden feller that the conservative pigs forgot about?

[batvette]

@humanbeer the US Navy Seals did. And as each was probably at least an E-4 or above, we know they were recruited and trained during the Bush administration- that's highly relevant if you want to imply we only got Bin Laden because Obama was in the White House. As for "forgetting" about Bin Laden, Bush haters love to present one line that makes it appear that way. Reading the line with its full statement for context makes whoever edited it a complete liar and not to be trusted. (not you)

[humanbeer]

@batvette Seekrit kenyan mooslim gunna come take away you guns!

[wwwtotalitaerde]

Check out my channel and homepage. I found an official report from 1944 where a US pilot reported being attacked with radiation weapons inducing currents into the ignition and electrical system of his aircraft. This happened near Frankfurt. Thats the first confirmed report on open military use of directed energy. The earliest use for torture was in 1908, see chapter Psychiatrie-->Klinik der Narkolepsie on my homepage.My brother Markus Bott had been tortured and murdered to shut down our homepage

[RetSquid]

@wwwtotalitaerde

Give up spaming videos with this CRAP!

[7249xxl]

thanks tho cnralph and goNavy311 we know what hapends and i just want to say that he is lukkey that the cattapult launged at fullspeed i think he would make it then

[Zmann36]

owww owww and more owwww!!!

[307OLDS]

It wasn't a cold cat shot, look at the tow bar on the nose gear you can see that the cat shuttle wasn't there yet, Thats why the green jacket was standing there to hook the tow bar up to the shuttle. The student pilot gave the goshawk full throttle and released the brakes.

[RetSquid]

@307OLDS

Did the moron pilot stop before he went 'splash'?

[jkamelo]

BETRAYAL

[bterwin9887]

ouch!

[jackleo6]

This is fake they photoshopt it

[DoodlesPepsiFreak]

@jackleo6

trollfag is a troll.

[Scoutrussp7]

teamkill!

[grugruu]

lol helping him seems not to be the priority

[KartKing4ever]

"ahh my first day is going so well" POW!

[losertini]

Ah, I see this was on the GW.

WAH WAH WAH (sound effect)

[sparks12001]

Sucker punched by a 7 ton aircraft ^^

[INSANEhs]

:17 .... "DX is back baby"

[mariodebontridder]

ha that was hard!!!!

[perisville]

nob hope his well

[robertgift]

Did the guy recover OK?

Hope so.

[marintoss]

What aircraft is that ?

[skandalintegra]

T-45 Goshawk. Naval Aviation jet trainer.

[astronautman12]

who put that plane there??

[cnralph]

You know they can't go rushing to his rescue. If the pilot still had the throttles open, they'd be pinned to the blast deflector. Notice they stood up and crossed their arms. That means kill engines. So they could then run to the wounded commrade. Running blindly to somebody injured often times gets more people injured.

[FreeYourMind911]

Yeah perhaps u right. Well educated personal. But injured person was not blast away.

[backrotor1]

@cnralph

Those crossed arms mean to "suspend" the catapult shuttle from retracting into hookup position.

[marintoss]

Hahahah :)) You are my Idol!

[sataraid]

Pilot(training pilot) error. That wasn't a launch. I thought it looked way too slow for a shot. I looked closer. The shuttle where the plane attaches to the catapult is absent. The nose lifts when it begins to move. When a plane is shot off the deck the nose has a tendency to dip. The flight deck is a dangerous place especially with these T45s on deck.

[wfoj2]

Agree. with way too slow. And if a real launch he would be hurt a lot more, humna flying on deck also.

Also. Catapults are steam, under certain conditions (what?) you have the steam venting out ont the deck from the catapult track.

[cypris2002]

your right this was pilot error he must have let the break off it was not what we ABE's call a dry shot the shuttle was not where it is suposed to be and the is no hold back bar either i think that aircraft ended up in the drink and that pilot lost hes job

[COD4Insiderr]

it wasnt supposed to be a launch

[Dr3amTM]

SOME ONE CALL THE PARAMEDIC

[JoseKagan]

I love how they come rushing to his rescue.....

[COD4Insiderr]

if they did right away without paying attention, the engines would have thrown them back onto the blast deflectors

[Nerdattak]

MEDIIIIIC!!!

[southbristolsfinest]

Real quick reactions fella's - NOT!

[mireleseric]

damn how hard did he got hit

[khatoum]

See the three guys in the background claim 'skinches! - wasn't me!' Lol

[NeverforgetElvis]

Never turn your back on a whining jet . . . or woman. Results are about the same.

[phonix032]

well the best way to learn is to through experiencing the bad results of a mistake and i am pretty sure this sailor didnt make this mistake again

[qwasd0r]

Ow, he got hit hard.

[MaXG65]

Obviously the catapult was not fully charged and was released!

No one was ready for that one.

I wonder if they got it stopped before the plane went off the end of the deck?

[molyholymoly]

Fake

[d3u1d4e]

Ouch!

[ManOfMeans]

Every man for himself??

[StLouisEarl]

Anyone with flight deck experience knows that 2 people messed up here. 1. the man near the plane wasn't standing clear and 2. the launch captain sent the plane off before the area was clear. Life expectancy on a carrier deck isn't very long for people who do not pay attention.

[Toneman1952]

Crossed hands up is a visual to flight deck of "man down".

[airsoftgunrunner]

jesus! y did no1 help him!

[DangerofDeath2]

yes, what a very good idea to drop what your doing and run to help a fellow crew member in the middle of a fully active flight deck. They needed to make sure the flight deck was secure before helping him, otherwise there would be far more injuries.

[airsoftgunrunner]

well yea i know that, but wat i mean is he was there a while bfore any1 came

[Vikinatorn]

No ones helping him :O He looks hurt

[coolglock19]

ouch

[xXxTommeYxXx]

Why do they put their Hands up in the air at the ending?

[Maxsapd]

"Man down"

[oakland002]

LOL

[neverdead01]

ow?

[zucoy21z89]

Its a T45 Goshawk used for USN training, a carrier deck is a dangerous place to work

[soberauzzie]

lol he got WIPED OUT

[skalouko]

i wonder if he learned anything that day..lol

[soberauzzie]

deerrr! I got dian bramage! ddddddeeeeeeeer!

[Tyrael4]

while it looks like it hurt a lot, i would think he would be ok. definitely some bruises, possible cut from the impact of the wing, and concussion from the impact, but nothing life threatening.

hopefully.

[Inaspectus]

That looked like it hurt

[soyouz]

owned

[Xxhockeydude53xX]

sad:(

[NAVC130VET]

the airman was lucky and should thank God it was a cold cat shot. When I was a blue shirt and especially a green shirt saw several incidents occur but cold cat shots are very rare

[brent07]

Absent minded airman

[twoid]

good eye, it doesnt look like the shuttle is engaged with the launchbar. Although, the JBD is up and the plane would have taxied to the shuttle, not the shuttle to the plane. wierd.

[farmlover1212]

PWNED!!!

[diggerHR]

If you look at the launch bar, you will see that it is down, but the catapult "shuttle" is not there. The jet was rolling on its own power.

[marksmanmax]

hit by the wing

[gifink]

Cold cat shot for some reason. I would say 50/50 chance this aircraft ended up in the drink. Hopefully the crew was able to eject if it did. If that had been a full cat shot, the poor guy would of been dead.  Anybody who has every been on the deck during OPs knows just how dangerous it is.

[Vileintent]

he did not see the plane!

[ironroad18]

GoNavy, Eihort and Rwsmith's comments were dead on. There is nothing funny about what happened, because far worse has. (and thank god the sailor was able to move after it happened.) The deck crewman was in the right place doing his job, but due to a malfunction (which was none of his fault) there at the wrong time.

[slartybardfast11]

Fake ..took a dive like ronaldo.Then they all start dancing to adam ants poptastic 'prince charming' ...

[GotGame3636]

They have to stop the operations on the deck first before they can go help him.

If you watch the video you will see everyone puts their arms in the air in the shape of an X......that means stop all movement...etc.

[lizard357]

Hope they carried out a "Human Strike" inspection when they got back!!!

[GoNavy311]

He's not "standing in the way" so much as he's standing next to the aircraft (as is NORMAL for his duties on the flight deck). The aircraft wasn't supposed to launch yet, and as you can see, there was a failure in the catapult system, which is why the jet lunges forward slowly instead of at normal speed. Don't call that crewman a dumbass for standing in the position he's SUPPOSED to be in.

[rwsmith29456]

Anybody know what happened to the aircraft and pilot that 'launched'. To the jokers on this board, working an aircraft carrier deck is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

[shpookums]

And anyone who works the deck deserves the highest respects.

[sbentjies]

GoNavy311 is dead on. After I watched it a second time it occurred to me that this was a "dead" shot. I'd be looking at the cat operator or the mechanism.

[pineappleboy1]

you like using the word 'dead'.

[backrotor1]

@GoNavy311 The aircraft wasn't hooked up to the catapult yet. The pilot mistakenly applied to much power at the wrong time and knocked this guy over by accident.

[AdrianNtart]

why was he standing in the way anyway?

[Extremehackermike]

they cannot go to where he was due to the jets blast, they were more concered about their saftey than his, Simple explination

[ShaolinWarriors99]

poor guy

[tonpilot]

my thought also...no one rushed to help him. Probably just watching the jet go off the end.

[wussup331]

they got their arms in the air as if they were calling for a sub

[painplay]

Don't everyone run to help him at once..

[d4yogurt]

i think they were like "naaah, he'll be fine, he's moving"

[Eihort]

Running out to him on a carrier flight deck with aircraft moving around is likely to result in more injuries. No doubt people were yelling for a corpsman (medic), but their first duty is to stop all operations to make it safe for them to do their job.

[monkeyhanger975]

ouch!!

[jsreed5]

I can't tell how bad it might have been, but I don't think it could have been too bad because he wasn't knocked out or anything. It doesn't even look to me like he was hit in the head.

[SINKID3]

it was just loose it wasnt firing at all... they have not gave the call to launch the catapult yet. Cant blame it on that guy besides it wasnt serious he might most suffer a broken back... but still very unlikely from the intensity

[hunterbob21]

that long lol

[hunterbob21]

yeah failed cat launch lol im surprised it took the safty officer and the green shirts to call a deck accident

[jon2johnny]

How old is this footage? Are those Skyhawks?

[dicktracy34]

Its a T-45 Goshawk. Its a carrier variant of the BAE Hawk jet trainer used by the US Navy.

[Feircejaguar]

OMG!! look at all the other ppl....no one gives a damn about him...he could have been badly injured at the neck or head...damn...people really dont care...

[veldman37]

I think it's a matter of safety; only certain people are allowed in certain areas at certain times. Instead of running over into a potentially dangerous area, they are calling for a total stop to launch operations so they can help. Decks are one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world.

[SINKID3]

yup dangerous very true.

[SINKID3]

no its not that serious u can tell that that the catapult is very loose thats why it wasnt that serious. if it was a working catapult he might well be dead

[145Slap789]

Don't they train them to duck?

[megabigjetfreak]

the catapult failed so he didnt know that the jet was comming

[crazyvodka001]

Man! That must be hurt!!!

[moonshinemike]

What does that sign mean when they cross their arms right after they realise he´s hit? Looks kind of like a reff sign for some sort of penelty.

[NavyLife86]

That sign means to stop. Those are ABH's the same job that I am in, in the navy.

[jimmyrussell23]

i can't see that much damage being caused at that speed

[souljaboy132]

yep cause those catapults launch a plane i think 70miles faster

[uae9999]

Was tha aircraft alright?

[megabigjetfreak]

lol

[lead25]

apokta

[damat246]

thats terrible
