Wait, it WENT OVERBOARD? Not a crash, not a malfunction, it fell off the side?
I was in the Army not the Navy, but even I know just how many safety measures you have to fuck up before a goddamn airplane goes off the side of a boat. Those things are tied up six ways from Sunday, the only goddamn way it went overboard is if she stalled out on the runway or accidentally taxied it off the side.
Stick a fork in the federal military, they are done.
It is true that young men are more prone to risky behavior, which insurance companies don't like despite the fact that women's risk-averse behavior probably causes just as many accidents.
A lot of those are suicides by car wreck. The stats really should be separated out by whose fault it is but that will never happen because that doesn't push an agenda.

This is the "that makes sense" narrative but when you realize they have a deliberate agenda.
Look around at the people around you. When my dad and his girlfriend get together (I'm young and they've been dating for like 20 years) he always drives. She can drive, and she'll say she'll split driving on a trip, but in reality she almost never "feels like it" when the time comes and he does the driving.
I looked over at my uncle on one side of the family and it's basically the same thing. I looked at the uncle on the other side, same thing again - she can drive but she doesn't want to if there's a guy around to do it.
On top of that, men are far more likely to take jobs that involve driving. I bet if you look at the number of people who get a CDL license it's like 90% men.
Let's say you get into an accident. It's often unclear who's at fault, so who's more likely to get blamed when it's unclear - it's gonna be the guy. I got hit on the side by a girl once, I told the insurance company the truth that I wasn't sure who was at fault, she made up a huge story about how it was my fault.
Your insurance company can easily reach this conclusion without a deliberate agenda - they don't know who's driving or how many miles they're driving - so they look at stats and say "looks like men get in accidents 3x as often!". They don't know that men are also doing the driving 6x more often.
Yeah when I think of it, I've been on countless long highway trips in my life and I can't think of one single example where a woman did the driving that wasn't my mother with just the kids on a short trip. I've done a dozen long trips halfway across the country with friends where we had three or four car loads of people and I can't think of a woman in a driver's seat of any vehicle even once.
I suspect they just don't drive in those situations and that's where the dangerous wrecks happen. Fender benders from texting and putting on makeup at a stoplight don't do that.
$337M for one fucking jet? There's no way they cost that much... ONE WEBSEARCH LATER... I stand corrected. Carry on.... OR Carrier off I'llSeeMyselfOut
OK, seen video of the event in question.... r/navy has it.
Ramp strike on landing. Daytime approach, no weather.
IOW, pilot fucked up, came in way too low, and hit the very end of the flight deck with the ass end of the jet. Probably skidded all the way down the Landing Area and went off the end of the angle, and pancaked in. Pilot was injured, according to reports, so she had a rough ride either from the ejection seat, or from landing on deck.
There is video out there of an F-18 doing the same thing.
I was on an aircraft carrier that had a E2 slide off the deck. This was after 7 months of continuous flight ops. The deck was bald the tires were too, also a heavy mist dampened everything. Ship made a turn off she went.
First carrier I was on had contractors do the landing area in non-skid pier side at Jebel Ali.
We also had a 53 come in for a logistics hit pier side at Jebel, once. Because I was working ATO at the time, lucky me had to help.
I counted one time, I'd been to Jebel Ali over a dozen times for a port call, over 7 deployments. I was sad to see it go the last time I was there.... :\

I think it was a botched landing.

(spoiler: men drive more miles)
It is true that young men are more prone to risky behavior, which insurance companies don't like despite the fact that women's risk-averse behavior probably causes just as many accidents.
Most highway fatalities are caused by men. Speeding, reckless driving, drunk driving.
Most city and town incidents are caused by women. Fender benders, accidents, etc. these are usually not fatal.
Men are better drivers, arguably. But they are also more dangerous drivers.
It's a quantitative vs qualitative argument.
Women get into more crashes. But men get into worse ones.

Y'know even in the best of times an E-2 isn't actually flying for the first fifty feet or so.
It's like, "don't worry, we'll gain enough speed falling that once we have ground effect we won't be stalled anymore".

Can't confirm authenticity, but this is where it came from.
Hard to verify this. I can't go tossing it around and risk it blowing up in my face.
LOL
