Oh...that poor, beautiful jet. Nothing deserves to end up like that.

There are no details as to exactly why the jet fighter went down.

I've never heard much good about F18's.

The most terrifying moment is when the chute doesn’t open.

Video of the crash is available here, video isn’t great but it looks like a stall to me. Air speed looks really low.
