Default Re: Ask Vulturesrow about life aboard an aircraft carrier...

Ive seen the video and it is absolutely true. What saved the guys life is the fact that the helmet (or cranial as its called) was pulled off his head and went down the engine first and basically trashed the motor so it wasnt turning after the kid got sucked down. Ive been told that the sailor in question actually climbed out of the inlet and started wandering towards the edge of the flight deck in a complete daze and was tackled by somone else who saw him about to walk over the side.

I'm guessing most recruits pay close attention to their surroundings on the flight deck after seeing that then... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
