An F-16 ended up in the water off of the coast of Yemen. It wasn't that a pilot crashed the F-16 into the water. The F-16 was flung into the water.
During an emergency action the Truman had to make a hard left turn to avoid getting hit by a drone flown by the camel-jockeys-cum-drone-pilots of Yemen.
In a case of bad timing sailors were using the elevator to bring the F-16 from the lower deck to the flight deck. The centrifugal force of the turn flung the F-16 into the water. At that moment there was one sailor driving the tow truck and one sailor standing on the F-16. Both sailors managed to dive to safety before the tow truck and F-16 went into the drink.
Does anyone know what it's like to make a hard turn at full speed in an aircraft carrier? A few cans of beans may have ended up on the floor.
