http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081208/ap_on_re_us/military_jet_crash

Was on approach to USMC Air Station Miramar when it crashed. Hope that no one was hurt on the ground. Pilot ejected they say.

I just wonder if it was pilot error or a mechanical failure? Guess well find out later.

Almost everytime it's pilot error, according to the military.

 

eyewitness' said that it was in a flat spin before the pilot ejected, but who knows?

 

goose

 

I guess it did kill 2 people in the house they are saying.

 

FUCK!

 

now its 3 dead

 

And 1 missing. I was watching TV when it was breaking news .

 

Who's the chick in your AV?

 

definatley his wife

 

There's a chick in my AV?

 

OH SHI-

 

I'm doing some testing here (San Diego) and I saw the planes circling. Craziness.

 

Shit, you got me.... Pm me details.

 

From what I hear so far, it was catastrophic dual engine failure. I know the Collateral Duty Inspector Marine that last signed off the aircraft on its last major inspection. He's not at the unit anymore, currently on a B billet, but I'm sure he got a call from NCIS already.

 

Dual engine failure? Sounds like someone left some tools somwhere.

 

that's what I was thinking as well. Someone dropped the ball for something this bad to have happened. Then again, it could have been an accident where something just went eletronically/mechanically wrong. Very unfortunate either way.

 

he could've run it out of gas

 

that's going to be a lot of money the gov't paying out

 

That is really sad and I can't believe that guy that lost his whole family holds no hard feelings like that.

Really sad.

 

did they ever report the cause of the crash?

 

it will be months

 

when whomever gets fried for it goes down we will know
