One of the reasons I have hearing problems is the noise caused by the water injection. My first flight out of Castle AFB as a student was number 4 in a 4 ship Minimum Interval Take-Off (MITO) 12 seconds behind the tanker in front of us with 2 B-52s also flying water wagons in the lead. All we could see was black smoke until we rotated. At the time I was too young and dumb to figure out how damn dangerous that was. The steam jet would really make the earth move.
Well, the earlier accident was clearly load shift. You can see the plane suddenly shift to its left and then an attempt to veer back right prior to crashing.
I doubt if this accident is nothing more than a tragic accident as well.
Years later I took a F-250 Ford with 460 engine and adapted it with water injection. They once made a kit that measured vaccum and RPM and when the engine was under load like pulling a fifth-wheeler it shot a stream of water into the carburator. Black smoke just poured out the back. Got a big incease in power and MPG.
