This Corsair was landing on the carrier "Shangri-La", and as the 4th wire jerked the plane to a halt, both the (aircraft left) belly tank and (aircraft left) HVAR (High Velocity Aircraft Rocket) on the right side of the picture, broke lose and started skipping down the deck.
Fuel vapors engulfed aircraft left wheel.
You can see the remaining (aircraft right) belly tank behind the prop tip and remaining HVAR (High Velocity Aircraft Rocket) below the tape on the right wing.
The pilot was not seriously injured.
