Surviving Partial Ejection from an A-6 Aircraft

Keith Gallagher has a terrific story about surviving a bizarre, life-threatening accident while serving as bombardier / navigator on a A-6 aircraft based off the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier. Keith's cousin Mark has set up a web site to share Keith's story. I'd recommend reading Keith's account first and then the account of pilot Mark Baden. The technical aspects of the accident are also quite interesting and can be found here.
