Got a request from Gordon P this afternoon.....


Do any of the naval aviation community recall any details of the safety
video featuring a line of final checkers who were killed by a loose arrestor
cable ? Apparently the last man in line managed to jump at just the
right time and avoided the wire.


I personally remember reading about this incident in 1970, so I imagine it
would have happened in the mid-60s



It was a Whale landing...right?
