Cable snaps on USS Eisenhower during landing
Published on Jul 8, 2016
Eight sailors were injured aboard the USS Eisenhower when an arresting cable snapped
during an E-2C Hawkeye's landing in March 2016. Read all about the incident:

And yet, I still can't believe those idiot Mythbusters "tested" the claim that arresting cables can, and will, hurt or kill people when they break, for whatever reason. The morons said they wouldn't hurt anyone.
Did they stop to LOOK at some of the video's out there about that very thing happening? Nah. Did they file Freedom of Information requests, read unclassified reports, glance through Approach Magazine? Did they interview any eye-witnesses? Nah, just make some idiot assumptions, do some half- uhh...hearted, tests, and say "Nope, not dangerous at all!".
Very frustrating, especially to those who know better.
Sorry, [/rant off]
Having gone through all that, I am very glad no one was killed, and that the crew saved the aircraft. I wager there were some seat-cushions needing surgical removal!
Thanks for the post! Very enjoyable, or at least interesting.

Didn't find these listed so since the E-2C Hawkeye was mentioned here are a couple good ones.
