I can also guarantee you that Manafort believes he is 100% innocent. Also, I bet he gets out and starts doing the same poo poo.

I'll go one step further and say that the concepts of guilt and innocence are so alien to Manafort that he is as capable of processing them as I am of imagining a four cornered triangle or a circular square.

Nope. Two near misses, one of which caused damage, and Dick Best's perfect hit:

All of them got hosed, though Kaga definitely got the worst of it. Reading through what happened to the ships both during and after the strikes is like a horror film—lots of burning to death far below decks with no chance of escape or possibly salvaging the situation.

Yep. One of my favorite MilHist books in general, as it's both extensively researched and very well written. Definitely worth checking out as soon as you get the chance.

They got hosed due to trying to switch from anti-ship to bombs for a second strike on Midway and then back when the US Navy presence was reported, bombs were not returned to the magazine and left in the hanger, without any protection. Then the carriers were forced to take evasive actions due to the first few strikes that missed that shifted everything around.

When the carrier got hit, open fuel and unracked bombs got detonated.

Japanese fire and damage control also had issues. A later carrier sinking involved leaking fuel fumes being ignited by a generator on deck when the fumes got spread further by attempts to vent the hanger.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Everyone I know has been infuriated by the dipshit hoist operator in that video. So many things he did wrong. That lady is lucky she's not dead. I've seen oscillations like that put fully grown operators in the hospital due to the blood rush to their head.

If you're a hoist operator:

1. DON'T DON'T DON'T SIT IN THE DOOR AND USE YOUR GODAMN FEET FOR CONTROL
2. When oscillations start, lower the hoist to the loving ground, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE RAISING THE PATIENT TO THE HELICOPTER.
3. DON'T SIT IN THE loving DOOR AND USE YOUR loving FEET YOU loving IDIOT, YOU MORON

Sorry, that dude needs to be loving sent back to training because he nearly got that woman killed because he's incapable of basic operation of a rescue hoist.

Syrian Lannister posted:

Missing a trail line

Tag lines aren't usually required for metal rescue litters, though it helps. A lot.

Also I'd like to point out that captain dumbfuck the hoist operator almost broke his foot, ankle, or leg and possibly got himself flung from the helicopter by trying to stop the movement with his feet.

Edit: the best comment I saw was "is this what it's like to get rescued to death?"
