Probably the most replayed aircraft accident footage in the history of aviation. On this date in 1967, during the sixteenth glide flight of a lifting body Northrop M2-F2, NASA Test Pilot Bruce Peterson suffered a spectacular crash on approach to Edwards dry lake bed. After extensive hospitalization, Peterson recovered from his injuries but lost sight in one eye due to a secondary infection while in the hospital. Portions of the M2-F2 spectacular crash landing footage were used for the 1973 TV movie and subsequent series, The Six Million Dollar Man during the opening credits of every episode. Peterson complained he disliked having his accident repeatedly replayed on television so often. Sierrahotel.net
