Flight deck crash crew rush to respond as a fighter aircraft runs off the edge of an escort carrier's deck, its nose caught in the safety netting below. A sailor in a white asbestos fire-entry suit leads the response, while others haul fire hoses into position -- a well-drilled routine essential to naval aviation safety. Deck crashes were an ever-present hazard of carrier operations, and the speed and coordination of crash crews often meant the difference between a minor mishap and serious loss of life or equipment.
