Made in the wake of deadly accidents aboard the aircraft carriers USS Forrestal (CV-59), USS Enterprise (CVN-65), and USS Oriskany (CV-34), this 1971 U.S. Navy safety film underscores that "Disasters Don't Just Happen". The film examines the causes of accidents and looks for solutions to prevent similar things from happening in the future. Three incidents are specifically examined. First, the 1967 USS Forrestal fire was a devastating fire and series of chain-reaction explosions on 29 July 1967 that killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CV-59), after an unusual electrical anomaly discharged a Zuni rocket on the flight deck. Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War at the time, and the damage exceeded $72 million (not including damage to aircraft). The fire aboard Enterprise occured on 14 January 1969, when a MK-32 Zuni rocket loaded on a parked F-4 Phantom short circuited (due to stray voltage during aircraft engine start) and fired, setting off fires and additional explosions across the flight deck. The fire was brought under control relatively quickly, but 27 lives were lost. An additional 314 personnel were injured. In 1966, one of the worst shipboard fires since World War II broke out on USS Oriskany when a magnesium flare was accidentally ignited. 44 men died in the fire. "Disasters Don't Just Happen" was produced by Milner-Fenwick, Inc.

I spent 24 years working with all types of aircraft and helicopters and I can say that the title of this video is 100% correct, luckily I was only ever involved in one serious incident that injured one of my servicing team, and the reason it happened was because the team didn’t fully understand the procedure they had to carry out, consequently they did it incorrectly and one of my team almost lost a hand, luckily it was almost lost. To anyone working in a hazardous environment (not just the military, and/or aircraft) I would like to give a piece of advice that served me well, so “if in doubt, ASK, better to look foolish than look DEAD” any good supervisor or team leader will tell you that there are NOT any stupid questions only stupid answers, and I would also say that safety procedures are there for a reason, and it’s not to make life difficult, it’s to maintain life. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Agreed & well said "shipmate"! Been there, done that. USS NIMITZ CVN-68 & USS CONSTELATION CV-64. 1988---1992 "ALWAYS keep your head on a swivel". Jet engine mech ADAN Leonard. Thankya for your service & welcome home!
I worked on the flightdeck during airops in the 1970's. Things could go to shit in a big hurry.
I saw this film in a 2 week aviation fundamentals school before A School in 1971. Never went on a carrier as I ended up in a VP Squadron.
Remember seeing this in A school in 1987. After 24 years in naval aviation, I can say that I saw many of the accidents shown, and many more. A dangerous business. Thanks to all those who I served with.
Seen 3/8 inch cable open a 16 gauge guard like a can opener faster than the eye can see in industrial ops....every time I see clips of arrested landings I wonder what happens to the deck crew if the cable breaks.....no OSHA out there....
i guess I am kinda off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Karson Ronnie flixportal :D
@Nova Jaylen thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!
@Karson Ronnie you are welcome :)
Beautiful planes!
And incredible ships! I have a fleet of RC airplanes...🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️
Who needs a war when "accidents" like these happen. RIP to all the poor souls lost. I love the music etc. It kinda reminds me of tv shows from the same era.
I remember watching this once onboard the Independence flight deck then being told keep your head on a swivel, now get out there and and don’t f@$k up!
The fire on Forrestall at 4:25 , then LtJG (or Lt.) John McCain is in A-4 next to burning slagheap that used to be an A-4.
I remember back in nam
Paldies par informaciju
There’s always a manual
At 3:02 the SH-3 helo is a US Air Force variant pressed into medevac mission. I did not know that USAF operated SeaKings. If anyone knows the details of this assignment?
I thought "this sound track and overall look and feel seems like the first Dirty Harry film". Sure enough, 1971. It was a look.
Of course it’s the enterprise
You’re comin in too low striker ....too low .... ohh 😮 noooo .... striker .... striker....

Who puts the supervisors under all that pressure........officers who want to make grade. I remember in Vietnam , get the birds in the air now, break rules to do it, it's ok. BUT when an accident happens, the officers show up and say the guy didn't go by the book.
Well, these guys could be not imperialists. Oops, too late.
As I remember it... it is the officer in charge of X to *supervise* the people working on X. It is her responsibility to see that the work is done correctly and safely. He may be in charge of a handful of individuals or whole company with "sub-supervisors" underneath him.
5:00 What do you expect with a crew of redshirts?
Thats rough man!
Same with pandemic and riots... They didn't just happen, accumulated neglect let to this...
Apparently the Vietcong don't need kamikaze to inflict serious damages to US carriers during the Vietnam war.
They don't " just happen " when the McCain's are in town.
If you watched the part about stray voltage that was about the Forrestal fire. When the pigtail was installed for the Zuni rocket pod and the safety pin was removed stray voltage caused the rockets on the F-4B to fire across the flight deck and strike either McCain's A-4 or the one next to his. Although he was eligible to return to the US for extended leave after the fire (then) LCdr McCain volunteered to cross deck to Oriskany which had suffered heavy losses and needed pilots. While flying from Oriskany he was shot down over North Vietnam. While I never agreed with his political views John McCain was a true hero whose naval service was in the finest tradition of the Navy.
Thats a Republican disinformation campaign. LTCDR McCain's A4 was hit by a zuni missile mistakenly fired by an F4 ordinanceman across the deck from him. He did not cause the accident.
Be Smart... be S Mart
Were all those guys trained by John McCain
Crappy thing to say. Whether you agree or disagree with his politics he showed his courage and patriotism time and time again.
WTF?
@@raybin6873 he is correct. The second one in this video was a cover up by the US Navy. McCain caused the event that killed over 130 men!
@@davidweston6653 LoL you missed the point he was making. McCain was the cause of the second one in this video. He was a coward and the Navy covered it up.
@@davidweston6653 yes it was a crappie thing to say. However, he should have never been a pilot. The Navy was going to wash him out of basic pilot training. A phone call from higher up mandated he would not be washed out. Same thing for advanced. Another phone call. Now he lost one airplane already from ineptness and damaged another. Guess another phone call got his "wings", but I'm guessing at that. Together with that behind him, the Duffass was known to prank people around engine start time with wet starts, notably one type of many pranks he did.......a very dangerous thing to do. It has been told that over the North he would not "jinx" as the other pilots would do. I don't know if jinxing worked or not. However he did cause my Uncle Sam to loose another aerodoodle, and was saved the embarassment of a forth by a hotel manager on good terms with Henry Fonda's lovely daughter Jane. It is thought that the Hanoi Hilton switchboard operators never passed on messages from Washington demanding John be allowed to continue flying. Maybe Washington phone calls didn't work anymore. Our Air Force Attache at Niagara Falls was his roommate. Bud Day, a true Hero, never said a negative word about McCain. I am told McCain, an upcoming politician started campaigning there and had become quite negatively vociferous concerning our Country's leadership while vacationing there. I'm sure it was not something as "this is a fine kettle of fish you got us into now Ollie." Other than that he was a fine Democrat in another party. He will not however be remembered as a s#it hot, 20 Mike Mike pilot to most who knew of him, nor will he be labeled a Hero, unless there is a class of Heros that are Duffesse's
