Wow. I've seen that same video from a different angle. Tragic. And a testimony to the dedication of our sailors. Every one of them does an important job and puts their lives on the line... no matter how mundane their job might seem.

Those deck crew deserve the greatest respect, as do the aircrews, and the people who train them. What was it from 'Failed attempt' to punching out, 1.5 seconds?
