Carrier Launch and Crash

16 12 2007

Not 100% sure what happened here. This pilot seems to have ditched his fuel tank or a bomb but still loses it and ejects. Anyone know wtf causes this?

H.R.H. King Lerxst (09:48:31) :

I saw this on a programme about U.S. carriers. The A-6 Intruder had engine problems and didn’t have enough power to generate enough speed. Therefore the wings couldn’t provide enough lift to keep the plane up.

The fuel tank was jettisoned and the pilots ejected right before they went in the drink. Seems like the nav/bombardier in the right seat was killed.
