which is sad but nothing new. Flight decks are fast moving, chaotic and horribly dangerous places to work. It's no wonder there are not more casualties in a flight deck.
Of course when a kid gets killed on a place like that a lot of people get upset and wonder why things are not safer and they carry on that we are not at war and so on and so forth. What people don't understand is that we are constantly rehearsing for war and that is a very dangerous game. I am surprised there are not far more deaths and injuries on a flight deck.
The old saw here comes that you sweat in peace so you don't have to bleed in war.
As sad as it is, the risk is just a part of readiness. Learning to function on a dangerous flight deck is a normal part of carrier operations and people do get hurt out there.
Smooth sailing and fair seas to the poor youngster that lost his life.
My condolences to the bereaved parents. From what I read he was a fine young man and will be missed by his parents and shipmates.
