That’s somewhat different in that an Aircraft Carrier is going at a fairly high rate of speed, in order to launch or recover aircraft.
I’ll be honest enough to admit that I’m not sure, and that I was told during boot camp that if we were to fall overboard our first priority should be to swim away from the ship.
However, I’ve thrown tons of items overboard during my times at sea, and I’ve never seen anything disappear under the ship as it approached the screws.

I have never believed in the “being sucked under and into the props” theory. I have also never seen an example of it happening, or a reputable story about it happening.
“Bradley University students organized a vigil to honor Rosewicz and Prowant after their deaths. When her fellow students learned Melgoza was going to be allowed to walk at graduation even after being charged in the fatal crash, they protested.
She was allowed to accept her diploma but removed from the list of students permitted to walk at graduation, The Bradley Scout reported Thursday.” chroniclet.com

I would doubt both. If she was AFF, she would have a radio receiver in her helmet and they would guide her down. I also doubt it was static line. They said it was her own canopy, which means she shelled out 2,000+ dollars for it, so chances are good she had her A license. I would think she pulled the cord herself.

BS, he should spend his suspension in jail. He broke bones!!! Persons in positions of power should be held to a higher standard and their punishments should be harsher than a “Civilian”.

I’ve read all the books and saw the movies, and also watched “A thief in the night” along with the other movie (or two) made back then. The movie was horribly made but it did make me think. I’ve watched it a time or two recently and now it’s more funny because of the clothes and bad acting. :)

You’re warped. I didn’t defend it, but I do think there are worse things in life, such as screwing over 300+ million people in order to enrich yourself.

Trump needs to go away. He has done nothing to help Republican Senate Candidates. I’m also a bit done with his ego. Everything isn’t always about him.
I’m not surprised the GOP isn’t doing as well as they should. Some of their candidates suck and the overall electorate isn’t exactly overflowing with common sense.
