It’s happened before. I was at Shaw AFB when that very thing happened to one there.

Pilot “overlooked” his BINGO warning, declared IFE and crashed about a 1/4 -1/2 mile short of the runway. He got out.

Shocking news, but fighter pilots are human, though we are zipper-suited sun-gawds, we sometimes make mistakes.

Rare, but it does happen.

Even rarer is when you make a mistake and you live to tell about it.
