It is a stretch to blame McCain for that fire. Even if he did something with his engine, that would not cause another pilot in another aircraft to launch a missile.

The missile was launched because of a faulty safety system. That is well known.

You are correct.

McCain is guilty of all sorts of things but blaming him for that fire is simply wrong

Ordnance guys were loading a zuni rocket pod on an A4 skyhawk. Cold air coming across the deck causes static electricity to build up. It sparked and ignited one of the 2.5" rockets and it went down the deck and into another plane.

The plane it hit was carrying a 1000 pound bomb under each wing. A flight deck chief and the first fire team (like 12 guys) tried to put the fire out, but then one of the bombs cooked off. All those people were just gone...vaporized.

Like I said in another post, I've seen this kind of thing happen first hand. Static setting off weapons.

Uh dude the flame coming out of McStains plane is what set off the HEAT SEEKING missile. :-)
