Reports say, it crashed on take off . U.K. f35 crashed to on take off from aircraft carrier

Negative. It was a F-35C. Happened during landing

This is what happens when you hire Indians in American companies making weapons!!!

There are quite a lot of Pakistanis too. I know some on the F-35 program

You're slipping.. You can barely contain your orgasm over this

Some people find enjoyment out of anything. No matter how low they can stoop down.

Well his orgasim is justified considering you decalred them enemy number one and set up tent just outside their house. Now if an enemy of yours sets up tent outside and his tent gets burnt even you would be getting your so called orgasms.

If an enemy's 'tent' burns, while I wouldn't have sympathy for the loss of hardware.

I however wouldn't be orgasming with Glee at a possible serious injury or loss of human life.

Ask you governmetn stop sending troops and bombers killing and bombing civilians around the world will greatly reduce serious injuries and loss of human life, the jet shouldn't be here in the first place.

That is literally what Americans do whenever you get your chance. I guess you are not that different from your adversaries.

Its a machine, and Machine fails, people learn from their mistakes and fixes it... F-16's has a lot of crashes in its record but at the same time its an amazing fighter jet.

Too strange for a 100M marvelous machine

As long as they crash by themselves and no collateral damage occurs to local people and marine life, it is OK. They can crash till Boris Johnson's hair turns white.

Since it says 7 other sailors were injured, I'm thinking the arresting cable snapped. Explains why other sailors got injured during landing.

What goes up has to come down.
