See the video: fighter jet crashes in US residential area – cockpit video shows bird strike from the pilot’s perspective.
A year ago, a military jet crashed over a residential area in Lake Worth, Texas. This now published video shows a collision with a bird just before the crash. A pilot and a student pilot were returning from a training flight in the T-45 Goshawk when the bird strike occurred. SB PILOT: We won’t make it. Stand by for spin. Pull up, pull up! The two pilots ejected to safety, and the plane crashed into three houses. One of the pilots was found in a wooded area, the other was hanging from a power line, seriously injured. Both pilots have now recovered from their injuries. The Lake Worth Police Department said it was a miracle that there were no fatalities in the accident.
