Breaking
The San Diego carriers REagan and Nimitz are in port.
The USS Lincoln who uses our air wings is off the coast in training and probably the carrier the Jet took off of to get back home
Want to lay the blame for the October '07 wild fires? Look no further. They should have been sued out of existence.
Useless bunch of hippies.
But I digress...
And as Sofaman pointed out, there are schools nearby. It could have been much worse. I have no doubt the pilot(s) did the best he/she/they could under the circumstances, which could have included no control over the aircraft. No sense riding it in if you’ve done all you could to minimize collateral damage. Training takes over.
HEY! CLOSE THE GATE SO THE DOG DOESN’T GET OUT!!
And yet... you do anyway. Seems pretty obvious that he stayed with the plane until the last possible moment. Once it isn't flying anymore there's no purpose in making the pilot die in the crash.
USS ‘Connie’ Constellation BumP.. had a good bud of mine, he plane-captained birds off of its deck, 1973 1974ish
Lightner. what a nudnik. THank goodness the City Atty is cleaning out his desk or he would be there
4416 Cather Ave was main impact, fear is that a mother and 2 children were home, (Don Yueong family) spelling maybe off
He stayed with it as long as he could to minimize impact, sounds like the engine went south on him,, not sure how much fuel he had onboard
Oh, and in looking at the google earth of that place it looks like he got it safely past the high school and only needed some hundreds more yards to get it past the houses into open space. But it wasn’t making it.
Bingo
That would be the NTSB, who investigates all such incidents.
There’s several NTSB “Go Teams” on standby 24/7 just for whenever a crash occurs.
oh no
One would think that a FReeper would not make judgements upon the decisions made by an American military pilot who would have to live with his split second actions the rest of his life.
They can’t close the base thankgoodness as with the carriers here ,they are the airwings for them.
San Diego has the largest concentration of Military in the U.S. and there is more buildup.
With all the Navy here and Marines, they all work together.
Jung S Yoon is family name, so sorry for spelling mistake, hope all are safe
If you want to minimize damage from disasters, out law trailer homes. (just common sense).
Everybody OK there?
