Goose is dead (Top Gun)

Maverick was in a combat exercise. He was Iceman's wingman. Maverick's F-14 Tomcat fighter plane flew into Ice's jet wash. Both engines flamed out and the fighter plane went into a flat spin that was unrecoverable. The fighter plane headed out to sea. Maverick said "I'm pinned forward, Goose! I can't reach the ejection handle!" Maverick then said "Goose, you have to punch us out! I can't reach the ejection handle! Eject!" Goose said "I'm trying! I'm trying!" Maverick said "Eject! Eject! Eject! Watch the canopy!" Goose pulled the ejection handle and then the canopy came down on top of Goose's neck, breaking it! Goose died! The Coast Guard rescued Maverick and told him "You've got to let him go, sir!"
