    You're all wrong. They set the speed on the catapult low for the aircraft. Had he just kept his attitude he'd have been alright, but when he pulled the nose up, it stalled. The pilot broke his back on impact in the water, and the copilot died. Not speculation... look it up.

    he had engine failure on take off. he didn't stall from pulling up to early. he stalled from engine failure. the thing falling is him dropping his external fuel tank

    I'm a professional Navy Aviator. It looks like things were going reasonably well until they ejected the engine.

      @RebateMongerWhen I was in Navy Aviator's School, they taught us to: 1) Eject the engine. 2) Make a 360 degree turn. 3) Land. Too bad they didn't do that.

     Yeah it was an engine failure...the pilot that survived talked about it on the documentary carrier: Fortress at sea...the navigator that hit the water first died...pilot said that he thought he was going to go in the water neck first if he ejected and he didn't want to feel that, so he almost didn't pull the handle...he lived, the navigator wasn't so lucky.

    aquashrimp is right on. I think the right engine looses all power. Just after it leaves the tarmac it looks like no exhaust can be seen coming from the right engine. I think it also explains why the jet is traveling to the right during flight. he drops the fuel tank to try to lighten up but that makes him go even further right because he is lighter and only has power from the left engine. doesn't cut it, he ejects. :)

     It was engine problems. See how the plane begins to climb? If it had been a catapult problem, the plane could have flown in ground effect for a while then climbed out normally. But as soon as the plane begins to climb it loses airspeed, stalls, the pilot jettisons the drop tanks, then ejects.

      @aquashrimpThey were more than that aircrafts wingspan above the water so no ground effect. Sorry to nit pick.

      @DarkestwireOr, your stupid? That wasn't the engine it was a fuel tank, and it did stall because the aircraft couldn't maintain the minimum speed to stay level.

    This is what happens when you dont keep the engine tuned and get the air filters washed and waxed regularly. Everyone knows that.

    its not engine failure, the catapault didn't get the jet to right right airspeed to get it flying and no this jet does not have afterburner

      @slimorspadesHey Mr_Tideman its a cold cat. its on the Naval Safety Report that is put out every time there is a mishap. plus AIB is for the Air Force not the Navy dumb ass, and in case you didn't notice this is a Naval aircraft on a Naval Ship, so I don't know why the Air Force would be reporting a mishap for the Navy. Plus if you notice how slow the jet is at first its obvious its the catapault, no aircraft starts off that slow on takeoff from the catapault

      @slimorspadesCold cat or not, they had lift after they were shot off. If the engine hadn't failed they would have been able to save it at full power. Instead, the engine failed! What they shot off before ejecting was the fuel tank. Thats standard. Oh, and the rack that holds the tank is called an Aero-7. Not in use anymore. Yeah biotch, I was there.

      @slimorspadesSuck a fart, slimorspades. The jet had an engine failure, evidenced by its lack of acceleration on climbout. If it was a cold cat, it would've dropped right off the front of the carrier and never would've been flying. I've heard the pilot's personal narrative, so get a job you turd wannabe.

     Engine loss, plain and simple. Once they realized it was going away, they jettisoned the fuel tanks, then ejected both pilots. Sucks that they are probably injured for hitting the water that hard.

     Hey people, this video is old as dirt. This is an A-6 Intruder, crossed over to the EA-6B Prowler YEARS ago. Slimorspades is correct on the Cold Cat. They are not controlled by computers on cat shot.

      @CodyAtchleyCrossed over? The A-6, an attack aircraft, flew along side the EA-6B, an ECM aircraft since the seventies. The EA-6B replaced the EKA-3B and continues to fly today. The EA-6B did not replace the A-6. The A-6 was replaced by the F/A-18.

    Ok, more seriously, I think these planes are under computer control for a few seconds after launch. When the pilot regained control he should have nosed the plane down, built up airspeed, and I didnt see the afterburners kick in although I dont know if this thing has afterburners. Either way, epic fail, but at least he got to go for a swim with a fukked up back (ejection messes you up, I should know, I watched Top Gun lots of times).
