What Can Happen on an Aircraft Carrier?
Situation Critical: The U.S.S. Forrestal (1997) 
Our Price: $9.98

Description
 Situation Critical is the true story of the disaster that occurred aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal, off the coast of North Vietnam. Witness the events as they unfold in real time, as the actual footage from TV cameras aboard the ship and voice recordings from the ship's PA system are used.

Kenneth Smith (Springdale, Arkansas United States)
This movie is a must see for anyone that has the slightest interest in Aircraft carriers or in the Navy in General. I first saw the film in bootcamp as well in 1982. After bootcamp I was assigned to the USS John F. Kennedy for a tour of duty. The first film they showed us was this same film. It is very graphic and very disturbing to watch...but very captivating at the same time!! And I am sure the sailors who were there that day appreciate the fact that their day in "Hell" is now used as a training device to prevent the same thing from happening again. As anyone who has served on an aircraft carrier can tell you...they fly sometimes hundreds of sorties a day...and the fact that this accident hasn't been repeated goes to show you the value of this training film. Please buy this video and you wont be disappointed...this isn't Hollywood...this is life in a War Zone!!
