For a particular person, repeats all three I think.

First is circa 1970, the COD didn't have a cargo cage and the crew didn't strap down a large generator than came lose, shifting the cg and the end result was fatal:

An AoA indicator reading wrong and SNA on his second pass was the end result of this one:

A friend of mine, former A-6 driver was flying this one. The mishap was a mixture of having only 1 paddles, a heavy sea state, some pilot error...

Think theres a video of an E-2 flying through a wave. I know ive seen it before but cant find it. Thanks for the post, though. I appreciate it.
 
Those were stunning, I couldn't imagine seeing the first two in person. In the 3rd cideo, did they pull that think back on board and fix it?

Yeah, it flew again. Dirty Sanchez was a the pilot, a good friend of mine, former A-6 driver. Bad day all around for everyone but of course could have been worse.
 
What was their reason for spraying the plane in the 3rd video down? I didn't see any smoke. That thing looked like it would roll off the deck at any second without being hit with foam.
