The Navy is investigating the unauthorized release of a video that shows the ramp strike of an F-35C Lightning II aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).
The footage comes from flight deck cameras aboard the carriers, Cmdr. Zach Harrell, spokesperson for commander, Naval Air Forces, told USNI News.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, according to the statement.
The video shows both the ramp strike and the aircraft’s high-speed slide across the carrier deck before the F-35C falls into the sea.
The F-35C landing mishap took place on Jan. 24, while it was conducting routine flight operations, the Navy said in a press release. The pilot was able to safely eject and was in stable condition after being recovered. Another seven sailors were injured, with all of them in stable condition a day after the crash, USNI News previously reported.

Not good, too many people to willing to share information (and write books for that matter) that they have no business sharing.

It would be interesting to hear the outcome of the crash investigation. Also the one into the leak but doubtful much will be said about it unless they are going to make an example out of the person(s).

SGT Tim. Wilson As a Retired Spook, I can tell you Nothing Stays Secret forever, Sometimes Not for Long (If We Knew Something Several Hours before the Media, We were Happy) but it is a Problem that the Video Hit the Street before the Naval Investigation even got off the ground.
