Also how about a C-27J doing both a backflip and an aileron roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTn6JiU2J6U

or a C-130 taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar-poc38C84

isn't modern flight awesome?

Like the video of the Los Angeles class submarine emergency surfacing, those make me wonder how much junk was flying around the cabin.
Are you thinking of this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOqalX5FJ2c
Yes. I have a cousin who was stationed on a ballistic missile sub; I keep meaning to ask him how much crockery they had left after that.
The sub is actually already rigged to keep most loose things under control even under normal running... with any advance warning (most emergency blows are planned ;-) everyone has the time to secure things in lockers etc.

That said, standing on a vinyl tiled deck in the peak angle point of one is a trip!
