On April 19, 1989, the battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) was conducting a gunnery exercise near Puerto Rico when a catastrophic explosion occurred inside the center gun of Turret Two, one of the ship’s three-gun 16-inch turrets. Five bags of smokeless powder had been loaded into the gun, and the powder ignited while the breech was open. The resulting blast and fires killed 47 sailors inside the turret. The crew managed to prevent the fire from reaching additional ammunition, averting an even larger catastrophe. The cause became highly controversial. The Navy's initial investigation concluded that the powder had been deliberately ignited and eventually suggested that Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Clayton Hartwig, who died in the blast, had intentionally caused the explosion. That conclusion was heavily criticized because investigators had failed to preserve some physical evidence and because the ship had significant problems involving training, personnel qualifications, ammunition handling, and adherence to safety procedures. Congress subsequently asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review the investigation, with Sandia National Laboratoriesproviding technical assistance. The later investigation substantially undermined the sabotage theory. Sandia testing demonstrated that an “overram”or forcing the powder bags too far or too rapidly into the gun, could ignite the propellant and produce an explosion like the one aboard Iowa. The GAO concluded that this was a plausible, previously unrecognized safety hazard. In 1991, the Navy acknowledged that there was no clear and convincing evidence that Hartwig had intentionally caused the explosion, and the Navy apologized to his family. Although the precise initiating event was never established with absolute certainty, the tragedy exposed serious weaknesses in the ship's ammunition-handling procedures, training, and safety oversight.

A rare perspective of an AH-64 firing on Taliban positions in Afghanistan. Most of the time we see this as gun cam from the Apache itself so it’s refreshing to see it from a different angle.

A rare look at a Captain’s Mast with an unruly sailor in 2001 or 2002 on the submarine USS Wyoming. The sailor here is actually attending his second Captain’s Mast for the deployment. Seaman Recruit Livers ended up going to three Captain’s Masts aboard the Wyoming. In this video here, Livers is actively urinating on himself intentionally. When he was ordered to his third Captain’s Mast, Livers addressed the CO by saying “What’s up Slick Rick.” Things got so bad after his third Captain’s Mast that the submarine was forced to surface and Livers was taken off in handcuffs. Little is known about Livers after he was led away from the Wyoming, although I am sure he was quickly separated from the Navy.

I believe the footage below to have been taken at Combat Outpost Keating sometime in 2008 or 2009 and shows the precarious tactical situation that the outpost was in at the valley floor. Our soldiers had to engage targets that always had the high ground, leaving them constantly vulnerable to enemy fire. This footage was taken before the base was attacked by 300 insurgents in October 2009 and nearly overrun.

21 year old U.S. Navy Sailor John Bridges is sucked into jet engine intake of an A-6E Intruder preparing to take off from USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Persian Gulf on February 20, 1991 during Operation Desert Storm. Bridges miraculously survived as his helmet, coat, and goggles were sucked into the engine moments before himself. Bridges was able to wedge his arm and feet against the walls of the intake just inches from the fan blades of the engine. The pilot immediately shut the engine down which took a full three minutes to wind down completely. Bridges is pulled out of the intake with a broken collarbone, ruptured eardrums, and some scrapes. He did not return to the flight deck for some time.

On October 25, 1994, the first female fighter pilot certified for combat in the U.S. Military, Kara Hultgreen, crashes her F-14A while on approach to USS Abraham Lincoln and is killed. Hultgreen discovers while on approach that she is overshooting the centerline of the landing area. She inputs left rudder pedal to correct her approach. The yawing motion disrupts airflow to the left wing and engine of the aircraft, which suffers a compressor stall and loses power causing asymmetric thrust. This was a well known issue with the F-14. Hultgreen abandons the approach and selects full afterburner on the remaining engine causing even more asymmetric thrust that the control surfaces of the aircraft cannot overcome. This causes the left wing to stall and a rapid turn to the water. The RIO in the rear seat, Lt. Matthew Klemish, initiates the ejection sequence. As the RIO is ejected first in the sequence, Klemish is ejected first and almost parallel with the water. He survives the ejection. Hultgreen is not as fortunate. As the plane is rapidly rolling left, by the time her seat ejects from the aircraft 0.4 seconds later it is too late. Lt. Kara Hultgreen is ejected downward into the water and killed instantly. She is found 3,700 feet below on the sea floor, still strapped into her ejection seat and recovered on November 12. The second half of the video shows her destroyed F-14A as it too is recovered from the sea floor off of San Diego.

Today we remember the 11 U.S. Marines, one U.S. Soldier, and one Navy Corpsman who were killed when an ISIS-K member detonated a suicide belt or vest in the crowd during the evacuation of Afghanistan. Another ISIS-K gunman opened fire after the explosion, killing multiple Afghans and killing and injuring US service members. 45 U.S. service members were also wounded in the attacked, with several losing limbs. This video is the only known footage of the explosion and also shows the chaotic situation that resulted. Our service members at Abbey gate were put in an untenable position by stupid leaders during the embarrassing evacuation of Afghanistan. We commend their bravery and their sacrifice. To this day, no one responsible for placing our men and women in that situation have been held accountable. Remember their names: Staff Sergeant Ryan C. Knauss, US Army; Staff Sergeant Darin T. Hoover, USMC; Sergeant Johanny Rosario Pichardo, USMC; Sergeant Nicole L. Gee, USMC; Corporal Hunter Lopez, USMC; Corporal Daegan W. Page, USMC; Corporal Humberto A. Sanchez, USMC; Lance Corporal David L. Espinoza, USMC; Lance Corporal Jared M. Schmitz, USMC; Lance Corporal Rylee J. McCollum, USMC; Lance Corporal Dylan R. Merola, USMC; Lance Corporal Kareem M. Nikoui, USMC; and Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. Soviak, USN.

Surveillance video of the moments a Jordanian guard at King Faisal Air Base murders three U.S. soldiers from 5th Special Forces Group with his M16. You can see how the Jordanian ambushes the Americans in the first truck, killing them in seconds. The remaining two Americans exit their vehicles and take cover behind concrete barriers. The Americans shout in Arabic and English that they are friendly but continue to be engaged by the Jordanian. They return fire with their pistols. Eventually, the Americans decide to retreat from the concrete barriers by the vehicles to other concrete barriers. It is there that the gunman advances on them, killing one of the Americans while being critically wounded by the other. The Jordanian who committed the murders survives his wounds and is found guilty of murder in Jordanian court, and is sentenced to life in prison with hard labor. However, life in prison in Jordan is actually a 20-30 year prison sentence. As this shooting occurred in late 2016, it is likely that the perpetrator will be released by 2040.

This Privateer is privately owned and travels to air shows around the U.S. frequently. You can see how much muscle the pilot must use to wrestle the large aircraft. Imagine doing that during WWII and potentially under fire. Credit to Erik Johnston Photography/Videography for the video.
