Wow, did it start lifting? They might have been able to pull out of that, eh?

That's weird since it looked like they ejected early, unless there was a failure in the cockpit which would make them eject and they didn't just miss the arrest cable.

Looks like some Premature ejaculation to me.

Why didn't they just make another run? Strange.

@Deano: I reckon the pilot thought he was too low and slow to avoid splashing down -- they did look damn slow, I thought the plane was going into the drink for sure. Normal procedure, at least for fighter jets, requires the pilot to apply max power as soon as he touches the deck, in case of exactly this situation (misses the wire or "bolters" and has just a couple of seconds to reach flying speed again -- IIRC, Top Gun depicts the landing procedure accurately). So I don't know why they were moving so slow when they went off the other side of the flight deck.
