100% I was a ground pounder, but with all the variables involved in carrier operations ( might be the most dangerous and unpredictable things our military does regularly from what I can tell) I am surprised it doesn’t happen more, which is a credit to our sailors | |||

I’m not looking for someone to blame. I was responding to “routine/forgivable” comment. While I was in the nuclear power plant, it was on an aircraft carrier. Those things were designed to address all the possible things that can go wrong resulting in the things that I mentioned which I’m aware of. And when things like these happen, the people who pay really aren’t the ones directly involved especially if they didn’t break any rules. What happens is the investigate it, come up with a program that adds more safeguards to prevent what happened in the future and everyone has to train and implement the new program. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Idiots on Twitter/X are blaming TRUMP for the planes lost—comparing the imputed cost with the cost of Biden’s disastrous Gaza death pier in a WHATABOUTTRUMP move. I can only spend so much time on X before my blood pressure starts to rise. Mind you, I’m grateful to Musk for making it a free speech platform. But do the Leftists have to keep providing themselves idiots over and over? Apparently. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

The arresting cable snapped or the plane's hook snapped. Usually at that point, it's a matter of how much speed the plane has remaining will determine if it can get back to full military-power and get airborne again. Mooch explains the issues As for recovering the crashed aircraft, they can be salvaged and raised, just depends on depth of its remains. | |||
