    Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. And something tells me the jet wasn't the only thing to land in the drink. That the pilot probably washed out of flight duty as well.

    Much like the recent Flat-Earth guy. Looks like he released the parachute on the lift-off jerk. NEVER be holding a trigger in your hand when you're about to be launched!

    "Nobody told me I had to have the engine running before being catapulted!" "I thought I'd save some fuel and have plenty of time to start it."

    Maybe he thought he would have time to get it started if they gave him a push to start it but he forgot to switch on the ign. early enough.
