Cable snaps as E-3C Hawkeye lands on USS Eisenhower
A video shows the cable, stretched across the deck, slow down the E-2C Hawkeye plane as it prepares to land on the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier USS Dwight D Eisenhower. But then the wire swiftly breaks from the aircraft's tail hook and the plane continues down the flight deck before it frighteningly disappears. Only to reappear climbing out of trouble...

I want to see an E-3 land on a carrier. I didn't think the deck was big enough. :D

That is exactly why pilots landing on a flattop go to full military power as soon as the aircraft hits the deck. Any hesitation during a situation like this means a very wet bird.
The Best damn trained pilots in the world. Hell they also went through "Carrier Quals" in the "O" club.
