The wreck in the opening credits to the Six Million Dollar Man

I haven't seen that show in decades. It came on TV on some streaming channel and I didn't immediately get up to turn it off.

It bothered me for years. I recognized the experimental aircraft in the opening credits of the show from a book on jet aircraft in my old school library. The film of the thing crashing was real. For years I assumed someone died in it.

But don't worry. I looked it up on Wikipedia. The pilot survived. They rushed him to the hospital and he fully recovered but he got a staph infection in the hospital and lost his sight in one eye.
