Hmmm . . .
Was McCain guilty of a "wet start", that started the Forrestal's fire, and the aftermath report written to clear him and save the reputations of his father and grandfather, who were both admirals?
Or was it a nasty falsehood conjured up by a/some McCain bashers?
From the report they were loading rockets on the Fighters (believe they were F-8's) and bypassing safeties. The bombs that did the most damage were from WW2 and no one on the roof (flight deck) knew the cook out time. ( how many seconds before the fire would detonate the bombs) The only thing covered up about the late Senator was he sucked at flying. Unfortunately I worked for a Admiral's son that also sucked at flying. He had four mishaps I think and they were all overlooked. The last was a class C and when the powers that be read my paperwork they said Thank you never another word was said.
