  3. For two different aircraft to go down like that is quite strange. EMP?

    Glad everyone survived.

  5. USS nimitz at last reporting is somewhere off the west coast of Philippines in the extreme southern edge of the Chinese claims. She only just transited the Singapore strait last week to enter the south china sea. Apparently this is near the end of her plan deployment and she’s just quietly cruising back to the west coast.

  6. One’s a coincidence, two is somebody messing with you.

  7. There’re your tax dollars going down the chinese toilet

  8. I heard that the competence level of the US navy has been declining for awhile now.

  9. China recovers them and as a thank you buys US soybeans

  10. Why is this story so vague? What does “went down” mean? Did they just fall out of the sky?

  11. Earlier this year weren’t we raining jets into the ocean because someone forgot to set the parking bake and turn the wheel?

  12. 107 million worth of aircraft dissapears into the ocean. 2 major unrelated incidents from the same carrier within 30 minutes of each other. Millions of americans losing food options this holiday season. A 300 million dollar ballroom. Millions cannot afford healthcare or insurance now. Consumer protection removed. There is nothing from this government that you can trust now including what happened to these aircraft.

  13. I think it’s because the training tempo in United States military is picking up. Training accidents happen, hopefully things are learned by them.

  14. This is purely coincidence, but the two aircraft that went down were a Seahawk and a Super Hornet, the Nimitz XO is a Seahawk pilot and the CO is a Super Hornet pilot.

  15. can we please stop parking our jets in the water? this is the third one this year, and they make terrible submarines

  16. Hire clowns, expect a circus. This is what happens when you put a Fox News host in charge of the US Military.

  18. But did they go down with a “warrior ethos”???

  19. Wonder if they’re communicating with wives back home about not being able to afford food or housing and not getting any sleep. Or if it was china

  21. It’s dangerous. Shit happens. Glad everyone is ok. I personally know guys who were fucked up for life during training exercises

  22. ya so between the 30 mins and vague wording and that the pilots are all safe i’m willing to bet they were testing something out there

  27. “Tonight, #DarkWoke crashed another plane. and every day wokeness is not reinstated in this country, people will DEI. Starting tonight. I’m a they/them of my woooord.”

  28. Weather out there looks pretty rough right now. Fuel is another commonality, so contamination could theoretically cause both aircraft to lose power while in flight. But weather is probably the main factor here.

  29. Well one can’t be a coincidence, because it’s only one incident.

    A second incident occurring would be a coincidence.

  31. Hm. I have had so many opportunities to make a “Was that drunk Hesgeth at the wheel?” joke that its not even funny anymore.
