know of any severe accident which occured in SAF before?

dork3d SG

Heard it was during training at the training ground behind Sungei Gedong...

dragg SG

i believe they will go after you.

dork3d SG

Go after me? Rolling Eyes

riken1974 SG

Heard from my friend doing reservist in Air Force that’s Zoe Tay’s husabnd’s F-16 tail fin tip got chip off in a mid air during training…manage to land safely in Changi….

dork3d SG

That's the 1994 incident involving two F16A which collided in midair over South China Sea... One F16A managed to fly back to Singapore while the other clashed with the pilot ejected safely and rescued...

Hellraiza SG

wahhh.......this one is damn jialat... Sad

TVaddict SG

i think this story is told to all drivers and bikees before they go to roc for training... very familiar leh

Manager433 SG

Rite. Heard many times before.

Shotgun SG

Got those horror stories about the SM-1 over turn with the commander standing open hatched.... Severed into half...

And the recruit who shot his over-garang pc with an M-16 during BTP, then killed himself. Whole platoon was posted to service vocations after the incident.

eurofighter SG

No, i doubt ponders is talking about this incident, which actually happened in 1990, as he mentioned of a malfunction and a crash in straits of johor.

This isnt also riken's incident as the other viper involved in this 1990s incident was banged up pretty badly and not just a 'tail chip-off' and i seriously doubt zoe tay's husband is involved at all.

riken1974 SG

It actually happen only last year...but not revealed to the press

Ponders SG

Errm.. i am refering to the 1990 one.

What happens thereafter you all speculate around yourself, i am not joining. haha

agnelli SG

well this was what i heard from 1 of my sgts…a bronco overturned during an exercise overseas…everyone in the rear cabin was critically injured

saline SG

42 SAR? multiple bronco lang gar isit?

pwnz0r SG

Serious case? M113 Ultra going down steep slope then suddenly 'trip' overturned. Most of the crew were unscathed. PC got bad concussion but overall ok. Driver also same thing. Only the poor SC broke his jaw and cut his lower jaw very badly. Required extensive surgery and plastic. Lost all of his lower teeth as well. More or less Att C until ORD. Damn poor thing.

Will not reveal anymore than that. Of course nothing of this sort is ever published.

EDIT: Not VC, but SC.

Ponders SG

How about a recruit.... the night of enlistment, slipped off the stairs and had fractured leg for the entire BMT.

He only came back on POP day only to see ppl he dunno and supposedly his platoon mates.

Rock^Star SG

Met an ex- LTA in 46SAR mess, chatted with him and realised he was discharged becos his leg was crushed by the SM1 cuppola while the gunner was traversing. He was really careless to put his leg in there whle standing atop.

Met another tankee from 41 whose leg was a 1/4 crushed by a reversing M113 track. Luckily he's ok.

Also during my time in Gedong, this OC Cpt was killed during an exercise in Wallaby. He was the Tank Comm in this Bionix when he hit the branch while the driver was cruising on high speed. Died on the spot. He was given a posthumous promo to MAJ. Sighz.....they promoted a dead body.

My friend got his finger almost severed when he tried to fix something in a Bionix. He's ok and still has his contract.

Me got 2 stitches on my forehead when a big T-Bar snapped becos I used too much force while fixing back the road wheel onto the SM1.....Could have been blind.

And the list goes on and on......moral of the story is.....be careful in the SAF. When u see some "kiasee" regulars in the SAF, there's a reason behind it.

Anymore??? Laughing

Ponders SG

Why was the officer discharged? I think downgraded Regulars are given the option of continuing the contract under "dimmed" career path or they are offered earlier retirement.

I know an officer who got into a personal accident (non-training), he lost his leg and got PES E, he is allowed to carry on contract.

Rock^Star SG

Well, I forgot abt the details though. He has a contract and now because of that accident, he is compensated and hence SAF discharges liability? Possible.

Wah kao, the officer u mentioned lost his leg in a non-SAF accident? Really suay.

Singer high SG

This happened to my friend, but it was in 1992.

TCs are trained to "button up" quickly in emergencies like this, but it happened too quickly for him. Broke his neck. Crying or Very sad
