For the second time in eight days, a fighter jet was lost in the Red Sea after it went overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier Tuesday, two U.S. officials told NBC News. There were only minor injuries after the two-seater F/A-18F Super Hornet went off the deck as it was landing around 9:45 p.m. local time Tuesday (early afternoon ET) and crashed into the sea, the officials said. The two aviators aboard ejected after the failed landing, in which the aircraft failed to catch the wire, known as a "failed arrestment," one of the officials said. The incident is under investigation. An official said that based on initial reporting, the tail hook failed to hook the wire that slows down the aircraft, which continued to accelerate toward the bow and went into the water.
As the Canadian newspaper The Hill Times wrote that Benjamin Netanyahu is "Israel's curse," Dotard Trumpf is "America's curse." Here is President Plane Crash blathering about one of the air disasters under his watch instead of saying that DOGE cuts have crippled American aviation safety: s.yimg.com
Thank you Republican voters, you own this. All of it.
