US Marine Corps pilot Captain William Mahoney had no room for error when his front landing gear failed shortly after take-off.

After coming in to 20ft above the deck, Capt Mahoney set the jet to idle and it dropped, bouncing slightly before the front came to a rest on the large stool.

LOLOL. They really should think twice before that description. I thought the US Navy/Marines were fitted with on-board ablutions.
