Married two weeks ago, with a child due in October.


I immediately flashed back to the video of the USN C-2 Greyhound crash... BuNo 155120, of VRC-50. The cargo broke free and shifted aft during a catapult launch from USS Ranger CV-61 in the Gulf of Tonkin on 15 December 1970.

Among the 9 aboard were a CPO heading home for his retirement ceremony and a sailor heading to his father's funeral... all 9 perished.


The video is on youtube, just google "C-2 load shift crash".
