Quoting: It's ALL Absurd How was that his fault? According to established reports, McCain was the first person to be reassigned to the USS Oriskany, probably to protect him from the friends of the 134 killed and 161 injured on the USS Forrestal.

| I'm From TEXAS y'all User ID: 73938027 United States08/24/2018 05:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Right, that's the story here, but what I read, he was sitting in his plane on deck when a rocket went astray and hit the fuel. So, please provide more details on how he caused it. hE FLOODED THE ENGINE WITH JET FUEL, THEN DID A "WET START" usually causing a large fireball out of the back of the plane, a not very funny prank played by pilots on flight deck crew McCain, wanted a real big one... a real gasser. BOOM! the firball caused the rocket on plane behind him to fire, causing almost 150 men to lose their lives Abolish ICE!

The link is Banned here: WMR has learned additional details regarding the deadly fire aboard the Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal, on July 19, 1967 in the Gulf of Tonkin. The additional details point to then-Lt. Commander John McCain playing more of a role in triggering the fire and explosions than previously reported. On January 16, 2006, WMR reported that according to a US Navy sailor who was aboard the Forrestal on the fateful day of the fire, “McCain and the Forrestal’s skipper, Capt. John K. Beling, were warned about the danger of using M-65 1000-lb. bombs manufactured in 1935, which were deemed too dangerous to use during World War II and, later, on B-52 bombers. The fire from the Zuni missle misfire resulted in the heavy 1000 pound bombs being knocked loose from the pylons of McCain’s A-4 aircraft, which were only designed to hold 500-pound bombs.” And I want to add that SNOPES claims this article was posted by Trump Supporters LOL The article was written in 2006 Last Edited by BBQ BOY™ on 08/24/2018 05:58 PM "Never underestimate the pain of a person.
