good reaction from that pilot

[gtc1961]

I'm kind of impressed they resumed flight operations only 1/2 hour after the incident.

expensive mistake.

@Wyvern0110 Yeah, I suppose you're correct.

@gtc1961

haha I guess thats how long it takes for a SU-33 to sink  ;)

@Wellwellwellwell1 This incident was far from the pilot's fault, he pushed the throttle the way he was supposed to, but the arrestor cable slowed the plane down dramatically before it snapped. There was little he could do to save the plane.

@Wellwellwellwell1 Yea used to get off watching F-18s at night hitting full military after catching the wire but after so many landings even that becomes ordinary.

[Wellwellwellwell1]

And that's why you engage afterburners after landing...

[chimab]

wouldn't want to be the first one to land after that guy.

@G777GUN

@PrivateCustard: It was the turd that came out of the last guy's ass finally hitting the water.

@Dki101 It is probably some type of hold-down bar or bridle attachment for the catapult shuttle.
