Not really "new" but the news last night reported:
One pilot survived - minor injuries, walked out of hospital - had video showing him, but they didn't identify him. He was wearing his fatigues and carrying what appeared to be his chute. He had apparently landed on land.
Two pilots died. Both had landed in the river. Two local fishermen sped out to get him - when they got there, he was below water and wasn't moving. They tried to hold his head above water and quote, "drug him to shore."
There was home video of one of the chutes coming down (of one of the pilots who died and had landed in the river).
No further info as of last night regarding how it happened. Surviving pilot did not discuss it. Said he was grateful to be alive.
News story did not indicate whether it was a 1-seater and a 2-seater, or two 2-seaters... so I'm unclear whether there is still one pilot missing or not.
Perhaps others can fill in anything I forgot/missed.
You won't hear any outpouring of sympathy for these guys or their families from the general public, but naval aviators risk their lives DAILY.
Thank you for the update - God comfort the men's families and friends. It's a heartbreaker. I went to the TriCity Herald for more followup.
