Some say McCain hot dogged it and "wanted to shake someone up" and wet started his plane which ignited another rocket. Other accounts say his plane was pointed in the wrong direction to have started the fire,although another account stated that McCain was put on another carrier(the only one transferred) so the other sailors didn't beat the crap out of him since they knew he wet started his plane.
The truth may never be known.
Others say an electrical device used to do other things ignited a rocket which was also notoriously unstable fired 100 feet and hit McCains plane and another nearby plane spilled fluid,400 gallons all over 1,000 lb. bombs began dropping off their holders only certified for 500 lbs. and in less than two minutes the deck was on fire.
There are about as many claiming that McCain was to blame as claim that the electrical device which had a safety clip removed was to blame. Anyway these 1,000 lb. bombs were very unstable. Some leaked and spilled all over as well as fuel from planes on fire it was a huge cluster.
Thanks RG.
Here’s my argument....again I repeat myself...WHAT ARE THE ODDS???
This guy has had TWO airplane crashes. He was fifth from the bottom of over 800 at the Naval Academy. Then this airplane does some kind of wet start thing and over 100 people are killed.
I am not a believer in coincidences. Sure, they happen sometime.
But you tell me you got a friend had two airplane crashes then was innocently involved in a “wet start” incident....I just wouldn’t believe such a thing was a coincidence.
