USS Forrestal, July 29, 1967 - The worst accident aboard a US Navy surface vessel since WWII
Navy Releases McCain's Records

  "The Navy released John McCain's military record after a Freedom of
   Information Act request from the Associated Press. The record is packed
   with information on McCain's medals and commendations but little else.
   The one thing that the McCain campaign does not want to see released is
   the record of McCain's antics on board the USS Forestal in 1967. McCain
   was personally responsible for the deadliest fire in the history of the
   US Navy. That catastrophe, with 27 dead and over 100 wounded trumps
   McCain's record as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
   
   WMR has learned additional details regarding the deadly fire aboard the
   Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal, on July 19, 1967 in the Gulf
   of Tonkin. The additional details point to then-Lt. Commander John
   McCain playing more of a role in triggering the fire and explosions
   than previously reported.
   
   On January 16, 2006, WMR reported that according to a US Navy sailor
   who was aboard the Forrestal on the fateful day of the fire, "McCain
   and the Forrestal's skipper, Capt. John K. Beling, were warned about
   the danger of using M-65 1000-lb. bombs manufactured in 1935, which
   were deemed too dangerous to use during World War II and, later, on
   B-52 bombers. The fire from the Zuni missle misfire resulted in the
   heavy 1000 pound bombs being knocked loose from the pylons of McCain's
   A-4 aircraft, which were only designed to hold 500-pound bombs."
   
   WMR further reported, "The unstable bombs had a 60-second cook-off
   threshold in a fire situation and this warning was known to both Beling
   and McCain prior to the disaster." WMR also cited the potential that
   McCain's Navy records were used against him by the neo-cons in control
   of the Pentagon, "The neo-cons, who have had five years to examine
   every file within the Department of Defense, have likely accessed
   documents that could prove embarrassing to McCain, who was on board the
   USS Forrestal on July 29, 1967, and whose A-4 Skyhawk was struck by an
   air-toground Zuni missile that had misfired from an F-4 Phantom."
   
   WMR has been informed that crewmen aboard the Forrestal have provided
   additional information about the Forrestal incident. It is believed by
   many crewmen and those who have investigated the case that McCain
   deliberately "wet-started" his A-4E to shake up the guy in the plane
   behind his A-4. "Wet-starts", done either deliberately or accidentally,
   shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.
   
   In McCain's case, the "wet-start" apparently "cooked off" and launched
   the Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that touched off the explosions and
   massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration.
   "Wet starting" was apparently a common practice among young "hot-dog"
   pilots.
   
   McCain was quickly transferred to the USS Oriskany (the only Forrestal
   crewman to be immediately transferred). Three months later, McCain was
   shot down over North Vietnam on October 26, 1967.
   
   As WMR previously reported, at the time of the Forrestal disaster,
   McCain's father, Admiral John McCain, Jr., was Commander-in-Chief of US
   Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR) and was busy covering up the details
   of the deadly and pre-meditated June 8, 1967, Israeli attack on the NSA
   spy ship, the USS Liberty.
   
   The fact that both McCains were involved in two incidents just weeks
   apart that resulted in a total death count of 168 on the Forrestal and
   the Liberty, with an additional injury count of 234 on both ships (with
   a number of them later dying from their wounds) with an accompanying
   classified paper trail inside the Pentagon, may be all that was needed
   to hold a Sword of Damocles over the head of the "family
   honor"-oriented McCain by the neo-cons.
   
   WMR has also been informed by knowledgeable sources, including an
   ex-Navy A-4 pilot, the "wet-start game" was a common occurrence.
   However, it is between "very unlikely" and "impossible" for the
   Forrestal "wet start" to have been accidental. "Wet starts" were later
   rendered impossible by automated engine controls.
