US navy F-18 jet and Seahawk helicopter crash in South China sea
A US Navy fighter jet and a helicopter operating from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz both crashed into the South China Sea on Sunday, just 30 minutes apart, AP reported.
All five crew members involved were rescued safely. The three crew of the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter were pulled from the water and the two aviators of the F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet ejected safely. The Pacific Fleet confirmed that all five are “safe and in stable condition.” The causes of the crashes are under investigation.
