Here's an interesting video clip of a carrier deck crewman getting sucked into the intake of an A-6 Intruder. Here's another video of an A-6 Intruder missing the wire during a carrier deck landing. It looks like they ejected a bit prematurely. Some good video footage of A-6 Intruders on the deck and in the air.
