Need sources to the correct version of the Forrestal incident I know there are many floating around many total BS. Many here have links to the correct version. I
remember seeing videos or "films" back then in school at NAS Jax on the fire but cant recall how they portrayed it Need the real story. Him dropping bombs on the flight deck I believe are BS. Thanks

McCain and the Forrestal Fire...from 2008

Ever since, McCain has added compelling details at key points in his political career. When
his stories are placed beside documented evidence from other sources, significant contradictions often emerge. One such case involves McCain’s experience in the devastating fire and explosions that killed 134 sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War three months before he was shot down over North Vietnam. McCain has made claims about this accident that differ dramatically from parts of the official Navy report and accounts of reliable eyewitnesses.

Revisiting CV-59 USS Forrestal fire July 29 1967

With all the discussion of John McCain, and with the recent spate of Naval accidents, I found it most interesting to re-vist one of the most catastrophic accidents of the last 40 years, the fire on the USS Forrestal, which killed or injured 300 sailors and came close to losing the ship.
Like recent Naval accidents, it was a series of unplanned and unforeseen events, combined with training lapses and poor judgements, all combined with insanely bad luck. And like recent Naval events incredible sailor heroism and self sacrifice when it counted. PS: there has always been rumor about McCain...

1967 USS Forrestal fire [50 years ago today]

| July 29, 2017 | Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In July 1967, a fire broke out on board the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal. An electrical anomaly had caused the discharge of a Zuni rocket on the flight deck, triggering a chain-reaction of explosions that killed 134 sailors and injured 161. At
the time, Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin, during the Vietnam War. ...The impact of the rocket had also dislodged two of the 1000-lb AN-M65 bombs, which fell to the deck, and lay in the pool of burning fuel between White's aircraft and that of Lieutenant Commander John McCain.
