Crashed into the flight deck of carrier. Lt G.J. Carloni.
I was the Crash and Salvage LPO on the flight deck of the USS Hancock, CVA19, and was on-deck and saw this accident happen. I think it should be noted that Lt. Carloni's body was recovered on deck. He exited from the aircraft and hit a stationary object while ejecting. I saw this happen, I saw all of it.
