I've never heard this before.

Act, collateral explosions?

It would bog down the PICTURE thread.
But basically, the Aircraft Carrier bypassed some safeties to cut some time between launches for combat launches.
One of the safeties was specifically for voltage transients during the shift from shipboard generator, to aircraft generator. This is a known problem, that's why they have safeties. And there are videos and pictures of missile launches from an aircraft on the catapult. That's why they don't arm safeties.. till it's on the 'pult. An errant missile just goes into the sea.
But they armed an aircraft in the staging area, on the OTHER side of the ship. A transient caused an unguided missile launch (I think it was a Zuni), which hit the aircraft next to McCain. Fuel ruptured and ignited, enveloping several aircraft (armed).
So McCain's craft, and a few others, we're damaged by a missile launch from the OTHER SIDE of the carrier. And yet people want to blame him.

Mandatory Damage Control training while I was on CV-67. We saw this film and other very detailed reports of the Forrestal. After the fire started, several bombs detonated blowing holes in the deck and the burning fuel ran to other decks on the ship. The explosions also killed fire fighting crews. After this everyone on board was fire fighting/DC qualed.

This must only make sense to leftists. You know, the ones surveys show unfriend folks based on politics. The ones that don't believe in free speech, so if conservatives want to communicate they must move to other systems. Not sure what fantasy the meme is based on...

It's much more than just unfriending when the left aggressively seeks to cancel people out of existence.

Announcing to your followers that you are moving to another platform is both common courtesy and common sense. It is the only way that they will know what happened to you when you stop communicating and give them an opportunity to connect with you on the new platform. If you didn't want to communicate with people, you wouldn't have been on Twitter in the first place. One side-effect is that a lot of people that may or may not care that you are leaving will also know. It is the only way that some will even notice that something has changed in the environment. Being aware of a change is the first step before you can potentially make a change.

Thanks, good explanation. You happen to have a degree in understanding libtard?

I don't believe in degrees. Unfortunately, I learned that lesson after getting multiple. My career would likely have been longer, more successful and more financially rewarding without being channeled by them. Credentialism is what has produced a lot of our "experts" and "elites", both of which have largely decided that they are above the American people and not a simply a member. I prefer to be self-taught whenever possible, with or without certification. So, most of us that pay attention to news, politics & current events have been become well educated on that topic. That said...
