Many dead, suffocated turtles and other animals. Not to mention all the tiny sea life that lived in the sargassum itself. It's said to quite odorsome.

Mexico is spending $9,000,000, Tobago, $3,000,000 to clean up. So far.

I think this an incident/accident report for this event. I worked on Bruce's pic, for clarity of plane number, and, I think the plane is ZG478, which would be the aircraft in this report.

First I did a TinEye search for the photo, and came up with this:

Then I searched for 'harrier May 14, 2009'.

This is Bruce's pic, enlightend a bit:

Name:  eject.jpg

It might say 'ZG478'...

Thanks for your efforts in researching that, Mr G.

Just relying on memory, I think that a new generation of 'Bang seat' had to be developed for the Harrier.
They were described as 'Zero Zero' seats as they could be used on the ground and with no forward speed.
Must have been one hell of a boot up the arse when you pulled the handle.

At least 10% of ejector seats made are used? Yikes.

For over 65 years, Martin-Baker has been the world leader in the design and manufacture of ejection seats. Our latest designs offer unprecedented life-saving capabilities while providing systems and interfaces to fully integrate the pilot with cockpit and aircraft systems. Over 70,000 ejection seats have been delivered to 93 Air Forces around the world and have saved over 7,450 aircrew lives.

There's a few stories here from pilots who have 'banged out' and owe their lives to Martin-Baker ejection seats:

www.martin-baker.com/clubs

One is from a French pilot who has had to leave his aircraft in something of a hurry on two occasions.
One of those rare events when a Frenchman has actually thanked the British.

For the aviator about town, the latest in fast jet soft furnishings, lace edged ejection seat headrest covers!
