After an investigation, the US Navy charged a handful of sailors for leaking internal video footage of the incident. 

According to Military.com, four senior enlisted sailors and a junior office were charged for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The sailors were charged for leaking government footage of the USS Carl Vinson's Pilots Landing Aid Television (PLAT) showing the F-35C crashing on the flight deck. PLAT is a camera system that corrects a plane's approach while landing on a carrier. 

Naval Air Forces spokesman Cmdr. Zach Harrell told Military.com the five sailors were charged under Article 92 for "failure to obey a lawful order." 

 "The investigation into the unauthorized release of the shipboard video footage has concluded," Harrell said.

Here's the PLAT video that was leaked.
