Aircraft accidents always facinated me, thanks.

I was especially happy to see the buff crew able to make a safe landing after the midair with the cessna. Anyone know the story behind that?

Is it? Aviation accidents aren't always fatal (in fact, they more often aren't).

Amazing thing that buff - was carrying a nuke cruise missile on the right pylon. Poor Cessna though. Lot of cold catapult failures though.

Sobering collection. Sometimes everything going fine, then poof, disaster. Lots of carrier and training mishaps, but those are among the most filmed too.

one that made me sad was the poor guy that ejected too low (looks like an A-5 Vigilante) about 7:25 in.

I think it was an F-8...trying to make a go around but the hook caught the wire. Ooooey, now that's a headache that musta taken a lotta ibuprofens

My favorite is the carrier landing that missed the wire then ejected and the plane just flew away...

I was a fan of the A6 that boltered, crew punches out and the aircraft climbs up and out.

annnnnd sluggish beats me to it.

My father was on a S2s. He was very stunned at the video of it going through a wave.

Apparently it is flying off the HMCS Bonaventure.
