F-18 Crash in Va. Beach!

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...gi-8UbhOAA8#_=

Just a few miles from here. Heard all sorts of syreens going off and turned on the local news.

There's gonna be a big uproar now. Still not clear about the extent of injuries/death at this point.

Good thing they dumped the fuel before hitting eject. It saved lives.

This was later corrected. No houses were hit, just the apartment buildings.
And, amazingly, no one was killed, no serious injuries. Most excellent!

Standard proceedure when an emergency occurs over populated areas.
