Bizarre Video Clip!
Dunno if anyone else saw it, but a Ch5 programme tonight showed a video clip that I've never seen before and beggars belief !
Its a night time launch aboard a US carrier (Roosevelt I think) an A6 is being positioned onto the cat and the engines run up to t/o power.One of the deck crew walks under the wing and is then sucked in to the port intake!!! ouch! Cue a mass of sparks as his helmet (ooh er missus) is pulled through the engine and causes a serious flame out.He is pulled out with cuts and bruises.
Unbelievable!
As a post script he named his son "blade" in memory of the engine part that could have quite easily terminated his child producing days (and much worse) for good! Only in America ! - well wherever the ship was sailing at the time.
