A video circulating the internet shows a newpaper reporter blacking out as a result of g-induced loss of consciousness (g-loc) while riding with the US Navy's Blue Angels flight demonstration team.

The reporter, referred to only as "Steve", suffers two black-outs (a loss of consciousness caused by g-forces moving blood away from the brain) and one partial loss, or brown-out. The writer is riding in the rear seat of a Boeing F/A-18 Hornet (see video below).
