A very shocking and big news is coming out from the US Air Force and military security front. A state-of-the-art F-18 Hornet Fighter Jet of the Marine Corps in the United States (USA) has crashed during a routine training flight. As soon as the plane hit the ground, there was a massive explosion and within no time the entire area around the crash site turned into flames. The matter of relief was that just before the plane crashed, the pilot showed his wisdom and jumped safely through parachute by pressing the eject button.
Technical fault in the sky and then a huge explosion
According to preliminary information received from eyewitnesses and US military officials, the F-18 Hornet fighter aircraft took off for its routine training exercise. Shortly after takeoff, the plane suddenly developed a serious technical fault. The pilot tried his best to steer the aircraft away from populated areas before losing control of it. As the plane reached a deserted wooded area, the pilot ejected safely. Soon after this, this supersonic aircraft worth millions of dollars fell on the ground and turned into a pile of debris.
A massive fire broke out in the forests of the military area after the crash site.
Due to excessive amount of jet fuel present in the fighter plane, a massive explosion occurred as soon as it crashed. The sound of this explosion was heard several kilometers away. As soon as the plane fell, a massive fire broke out in the surrounding dry forest area, which quickly took a huge form. A huge plume of black smoke was seen rising into the sky. Fire brigade teams of the local administration and military immediately took charge and launched a massive rescue operation to control the fire so as to save the wildlife and nearby military bases.
Search and medical rescue of the brave pilot rescued safely
As soon as information about the accident was received, the US Marine Corps and local Search and Rescue (SAR) teams with the help of helicopters cordoned off the area where the pilot had landed by parachute. The military spokesperson has officially confirmed that the pilot has been found safe. However, under emergency protocol, he has been admitted to a nearby military hospital for examination and first aid for minor injuries. The condition of the pilot is said to be completely stable and he is being praised for his bravery in not allowing the plane to fall on any residential area.
US Defense Ministry orders high-level investigation
After such a crash of a reliable and state-of-the-art fighter jet like the F-18 Hornet, there has been a stir among the top officials of the US Defense Ministry (Pentagon) and the Air Force. The Military Board of Inquiry has constituted a high-level inquiry committee to find out the real reason behind this serious accident. The investigation team will investigate in detail whether this accident happened due to any human error, there was some mechanical failure in the aircraft or there was some untoward incident like bird strike. The real picture of the accident will become clear only after the black box is recovered.
