[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3127804, member: 40091"] No. He was on USS Forrestal flight deck in his A-4 Skyhawk when a rocket fired "accidently" from another plane and passed through the fuel tank of the Skyhawk next to McCain, spilling fuel on the flight deck. Which then caught fire. McCain claims, contrary to 90% of other accounts (and camera footage), that the rocket struck his plane and caused two bombs to drop on the deck which exploded 90 seconds later. There was in fact a bomb that dropped from one of the planes but the two planes were already engulfed in flames so it wasn't possible to tell which plane they dropped from. When the bomb exploded, it killed most of the fire fighting team on deck. By that time, McCain was already in the superstructure and heading to the hanger deck There is a lot of speculation that McCain caused the bomb to drop from his hasty exit of the aircraft, but there are two switches that have to be thrown in order for that to happen, so..... 134 Sailors died that day [/QUOTE]
