TWO Navy Aircraft PLUNGE Into South China Sea!

About this video

Max analyzes an incident in the South China Sea where two U.S. Navy aircraft went down approximately 30 minutes apart during routine operations from the USS Nimitz. He reports that all five crew members were recovered safely and are in stable condition. Max provides technical details about the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter and F/A-18F Super Hornet involved, speculates on possible causes including President Trump’s comment about potentially bad fuel, and describes the rigorous water survival training that Max believes helped the crews survive.
