- mrhaines, on 10/12/2007, -2/+46Things you won't see on CNN...Things you will see in about 12 different chain emails over the last 5 years.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30What the ***** does CNN have to do with any of these images? What a completely ludicrous title for a picture gallery.
- zwolfe12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29The Blue Angles fly F-18 Hornets, not Russian aircraft.
- philgmo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Er... I'm fairly sure those aren't Blue Angels.
But there are some (dare I say it?) amazing photos here. - artman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Things I would like to have descriptions of though...
/nice photos
//headline makes no sense tho' - togra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Definately russian MiG 29s, not Blue Angels. I witnessed this crash at the Fairford airshow sometime in the mid 90s. Have seen better pictures of it too.
- dizzybastard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20well its new to me =)

So are useless user comments like that one. If you don't like it, just move on, please, and stop polluting my browser window with an inch and a half of waste. - smolakian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Cool, I like the missle shooting across the deck of the carrier!!! Oops...
- btfrazier, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17mig 29s
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18"oldddddd"
Yeah, of course it is. Just like everything that appears on Digg, it's old news to somebody. I guess everybody creative died a few years ago, because since 2003ish nothing new has been created, at least according to certain people on Digg.
If you've already seen it, then why don't you just ignore it? - GeneralAntilles, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Just a note: The MIGs that are colliding in midair are Russian, not American.
- crackhammer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Love the one of the caterpillar ascending the train car
- bebop717, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13The Benny Hill song is running through my head as I look at these pictures.
Try it yourself hum it as you look through them. - Ottergoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11The foreign flag on the tail would be a pretty good indicator that they aren't flying for the US Navy.
- picaro, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14CNN - Bringing You War Porn since Gulf War I
- marauder34, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I am guessing it is taking off, not sitting there on the edge.
- SpacemanSpiff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5679451794424969535
- corywingerter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The third is of a flyby where the pilot got his license suspended for thirty days because of it. He said the picture made the whole thing worth it.
- Swift2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The reason you "don't see these on CNN" is because these are stills. They don't often have slideshows on TV.
- leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah I got this email twice already....
And I could swear I saw that plane tangled in the wires on cnn. - RazorCrusade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8You realize that the plane isn't falling off, it's taking off, right?
- mfratt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11very cool? try wicked ***** amazing. too bad theyre not hi res.
- moosebumps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Tell us a story, Elohir!
No, really, a link some background would be interesting. - TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Agreed. If anyone had footage of these, they'd be all over the news, including CNN!
- Ottergoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The aircraft carrier is just executing a tight turn, demonstrating how nimble it is.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7#1 Two Mig 19 in midair crash

#3 Flyby of F14
#4 USS Nimitz during evasion drill
#5 F14 taking off.
#6 and #7 Accidental launch of sidewinder on deck of carrier. Old photo maybe 70s

#16 Floating containers, possibly sunken ship
#17 Air Saudi 747 runs off end of runway
#18 unknown aircraft with loading hatch failure
#19 Uneven load causes Korean Air Cargo to tip onto tail. This happened not too long ago. was on CNN.
#20 Small aircraft crashes into powerlines. I think this happened in the NE US.
#21 Plane fails to make runway at island. I think this is in the S. Pacific, but could be Azores
#22 Thunderbird ejecting.
#23 Cargo ship buckling under high seas.
#24 Worker in backhoe climbs same into back of loaded rail car.
#25 F1 tornado - NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The ejecting pilot looks like a Thunderbird at an air show. There's a reason I don't go to air shows anymore... I'd rather hit up Wright-Patterson in Dayton for the cool, massive Air Force Museum. All the planes sit in hangars, nice and quiet, and on the ground, instead of crashing into it.
- Naruto28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Video of the Thunderbird crash:
view from the ground - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ3aF1K_RzM
view from the cockpit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsNi9ArhoSY - Naruto28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Video of the MiG-29's colliding (and the pilots ejecting) is here - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/49962/two_mig_29s_airshow_collision/
- wtweber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Actually the only navy screw up is the missile. But it's one big screw up. The others aren't really screw ups just strange looking.
- Cronus6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No, I believe they have bow thrusters. Turn hard to port and kick on the starboard bow thruster.... kind of amazing to see something that large roll that much.
- scottbgc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4wow, that backhoe climbing into the back of the train is WAY COOL>>>i need a backhoe!
- SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I have to admit, that one made me think of Top Gun.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52nd one down, the plane is taking off, not landing. You can tell because of the large dirt cloud behind it. Looks cool, though.
- bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@davev
Nope. Tailhook is in the up position. If this guy is landing with his tailhook up, he is in some serious trouble.
obviously he is in trouble since he is going off the other side.
i agree tho looks like he is taking off. it is down right impressive what those pilots can do. - pheen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4maybe I'm slow today because I'm hung over, but I assumed that the plane was taking off...
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6yeah.. i'd sh*t my pants if i was that guy running away from it... the pilot probably got beat to a bloody pulp for scaring everyone like that
one i liked about as much as that one, was the pilot ejecting as his jet was about to hit a packed parking lot - WarpFox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Digg for airplane on top of a cop car.
- KinGvsKinG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3anyone know where to get the the high res versions of these images?
- kevinmotel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i love the aircraft carrier that appears to be able to powerslide across the ocean. do you think it has an e-brake or something?
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes, I like the falling seavans... So THAT's how my new MoBo from Japan was DOA...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Can't say for them all, but many are not photoshopped
- Egoist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No, they're Mig-29s. SU-27's wings are a little longer and aren't rounded on the corners. Very similar looking aircraft, though.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@warpfox:
Nope. Tailhook is in the up position. If this guy is landing with his tailhook up, he is in some serious trouble. - WarpFox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It probobly missed the tow cable and was about to fly off the end and try again, and the picture was probobly taken with a high shutter speed. Or maybe it was just taking off?
- gparkla, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11Um yeah, these photos are pretty cool but some of them are photoshopped. If you're go post pictures as "the truth that CNN doesn't show" then at least make sure they're all real.
- shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Military Bloopers!
- BufordT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hmmm let's see here, where's the cockpit open button, there it is!!! Oops, oh ***** that was the missle fire button. Hope nobody was watching.
- thisdj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hey Archie : The aircraft carrirer and the airplane in the powerlines. Did you see the batboy or the devil face in hurricane Andrew? ; )
