I was working on the flight deck when this crash occurred (VF-84). The only 'Machinist Mates' allowed on the 'roof' during flight ops were of the aviation variety (AD). While all hands were affected by this incident, interviews would have been better served by those who witnessed what happened before, during and after. RIP Alberto Colon and all my other shipmates.
