I got it, I got it .... I ain't got it, Lt. J. A. King USMCR, April 27, 1945, USS Guadalcanal.

As the old saying goes......any landing you can walk away from.

Wow!

Great shots!
I was wondering wher ethe original footage is from?
Looks like it might have been movie film of the accident as it's pretty rapid sequence for some ghuy wit ha hand held still camera to capture back then. Love to see the film if it was shot with it originally.

Man that's some cable!

Looks like the break made it a bit easier for him to get out, as well!
