I am not.

But I will say that for some reason the idea of landing or taking off on an aircraft carrier scares the bejesus out of me.

It's like – I don't know if it's the tiny runway or just the fact that it's surrounded by water or that it's constantly moving or that there's like 30 people on deck just casually waving around glow sticks like it's a rave for fighter jets.

This is very unchill vibes for me.

Also –

What if you miss the cable?

For this crew cut exercise, the pilot, Lieutenant Douglas Webster, was simply supposed to take off, fly around for a bit, and then land again, a routine drill to practice loading and unloading cargo.

But almost immediately, things went off the rails.

As the Skyhawk was being positioned on the elevator, it suddenly began rolling backward.

The crew on the deck started waving frantically, shouting for Webster to hit the brakes.

A few even ran behind the aircraft trying to stop it from rolling.

Heroic, but not exactly realistic.

The Skyhawk was one of the Navy's lighter planes, but it still had a takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds.

So this was not a rogue shopping cart.

This is like a tank with wings, basically.

Somehow, Webster didn't catch on to all the chaos going on around him.

And in a split second, the Skyhawk roared.

rolled off the side of the carrier, tore through the safety netting and vanished into the ocean.

What would you do if you're a crew member on this flight deck and you're just like standing there watching this?

Yeah, for sure.
