The sudden break of the blocking cable did not cause much trouble to the plane. The E2 pilot jerked the throttle very nimbly, and the plane itself didn't stop. It had enough speed to fly on the deck and successfully went around. The blocking cable hooked by the plane is under great pressure, and the sudden fracture makes the blocking cable sweep the nearby deck like a whip. Many ground crew members were caught off guard and were swept in the leg by this deadly "iron whip"! A second ago, the orderly and busy working deck instantly turned into a Shura battlefield with rivers of blood and wailing.
After the accident statistics, the legs of eight ground crew members were torn off by the fast-moving arresting cable, leaving irreparable disabilities. Eight unlucky people, two were killed. However, the perfect medical equipment on the American aircraft carrier finally saved their lives. This accident is even more tragic than the crash of a plane on the Kuznetsov.
Why did the two accidents caused by the break of the blocking cable have different results, and why did the library ship not cause casualties? The deck of the library ship is generally deserted, and there is no dense and enthusiastic scene like the deck of the American aircraft carrier. In the final analysis, the number of Kuznetsov's aircraft is small, and the frequency of fighter planes is also low due to design restrictions and caution in use. This "empty" deck will not hurt the ground crew even if the blocking cable is broken. The American aircraft carrier has a large number of aircraft carriers and has been pursuing the frequency of dispatch for a short time. All kinds of work on the deck are intertwined and dense. Fighters that often roar pass by the ground crew a few meters away and a dozen meters away. Once the blocking rope is broken, the work area next to the runway will be even worse.
