I have worked on this base before, did the controls in a new hanger a few years back. They walk the tarmac every morning, no more than arm's length apart, about 50 people picking up every little pebble or whatever might get blown/sucked into the turbines. They are meticulous in it.. So a slip up like this? Sheeeit, unacceptable by Navy standards....

It hit some apartment buildings from what I understand... Plus, I dont think suing the the Military, or U.S. Government is allowed... So unless the tenants had renters insurance, they are sol...

its sop to dump excess fuel before all landings - I used to live in va beach - , it was an old story among residents of having their selves or pets douched with jet fuel way back then and probably still is

I hope they don't use that SOP with bombs or missles. If thats true thats just nuts.

Navy simulates jet crash in Va. Beach

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - On Thursday, the Navy simulated a jet crash near Old Pungo Ferry Road in Virginia Beach.

The drill was organized to train Virginia Beach and Chesapeake first responders. The scenario: A navy jet is unable to make the return trip to Oceana and has crashed near Back Bay in Virginia Beach.

The goal was to develop and exercise coordination efforts between the two cities and the Navy's first responders, according to a news release from NAS Oceana.

CAPT James Webb, the CO of NAS Oceana, said, "We're totally relying on all the cooperation. The first responders have to come from the surrounding community."

The drill included numerous emergency services personnel and vehicles responding to the Navy's fire trainer, which was placed in the parking lot of the old Capt. George's restaurant.

"There are specific responder issues in dealing with aircraft that they wouldn't normally face," NAS Oceana Dist. Fire Chief Kenneth Snyder said.

Neat how they had practice and all. Good thing too, someone must be psychic.

I was wondering how long it would take for a conspiracy theorist to show up.

Strange that an area with low flying aircraft have and practice contingency plans.

Let us know if you see a fire department practicing extinguishing a house fire. We all know that means they're planning on burning our houses down. Or something.

I was just commenting on the fortuity of having had a drill on this accident so recently. I'm glad they were so recently versed on the procedure for this event, otherwise it could have had worse consequences. I don't know what you're getting all bent out of shape about.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
