Leaked video captured the harrowing moment a fighter jet crashed onto the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson before plunging into the South China Sea last month.
The pilot was recovered after ejecting from the F-35C Lightning II, which was seen bobbing in the water without its canopy. Seven sailors were wounded in the Jan. 24 incident.
The footage captured the aircraft’s final moments from the Pilot’s Landing Aid Television, or PLAT, camera as well as from the ship’s so-called “island,” the command center for flight-deck operations.
The F-35C is seen banking as it descends rapidly toward the carrier, which was executing a turn at the time of the jet’s approach.
The landing signal officer, or LSO, yells “Power!” for the pilot to increase thrust, abort the landing and go around — but the fighter jet appears to strike the deck, bounces violently and skids as it erupts in flames.

Maybe the pilot should have practiced with a cheaper airplane a few more times.

Military looking bad lately. Those at the top need to be removed.

Was it? The Navy had problems earlier with female pilots wrecking tomcats.

*Female pilot*
The NFL is doing the same thing with their refs. 20 have just ‘retired’. Guess who they’ll replace them with? Granted football is different. Just wait until they start blowing games. Nothing says they can’t do the job so it might be good. Perhaps they can put a stop to some of the taunting that men do. Football is there for everyone to see. This accident was out at sea-no one notices. Millions maybe even billions in damage to prove a point. The NFL will not be able to get away with it. The government can.
