  • Background

    This accident occurred on June 5, 1951 off the coast of Korea. The plane, an F9F piloted by Ensign Phillip Randolph, aged 33 of Durham North Carolina, made a bad approach to the carrier USS Princeton (CVA-37). The pilot and 2 crewmen died in the accident, 6 others injured. See http://www.history.navy.mil/a-korea/cv37-31may-3jul51.pdf
    This video was also included in the movie 'Hunt for the Red October' at about 1hr 15min.

  • Not exactly...

    I would say that is a little more than a bump. Bump is what you do in the parking lot to the car you didn't see when you were backing out. Bump is what you do in the store when you walk into that person you didn't see. Bump is what you did in the 70's on the disco floor. What that plane did was CRASH!
