    There were 2 houses totally destroyed, they don't know if anyone was inside. Also they have the bomb squad out, the second {empty} ejector seat in the F-18 is in the wreckage, and is in danger of blowing

    They speak about 3 victims in our morning news...


    ...in memory of my friend Joe Owsianik, a former right waist gunner from B-17G, 42-97159 from 2ndBG 20th Sqdn, who was forced to bail out on Aug. 29th, 1944 over my country. Joe passed away on Novemer 1, 2010.

    Yep, 3 killed, 1 missing on the ground I heard this morning

    Sounds like a mechanical failure of some kind. Also heard the pilot was trying to make it over the residential area before bailing out, evidently didn't manage

    The news said University City, wherever that is.

    A retired Marine Lt. Cmdr. went to the scene right after the crash, and managed to talk to the pilot after he came down out of the tree he had landed in. The pilot said he had declared an in-flight emergency shortly after taking off from the USS Abraham Lincoln, and was trying to make it to Miramar before it got worse. Apparently, he didn't make it.
