This just in ...........

An F-18 went down in a residential area in the University City area of San Diego not far from Miramar Air Station.  Witnesses reported at least one pilot ejected and possibly a second.  Amatuer video was shot, but I haven't seen it yet.

He should have rode it to the ground.  Maybe then he could have put it in a safe place to put it.

There is probably going to be an investigation, and they will try to find this guy guilty of murder,and if that happens he'll spent the rest of his life in leavenworth.

He should have rode it to the ground.

That isn't and won't happen. At the worst, family can file wrongful death civil suit again US gov't. Worst thing to the pilot is he has to live with this accident in his mind forever. Pretty heavy burden to pay.

If that was my family of four in that house, I would make sure an complete investigation was done.  And the guy, if guilty,  was sent threw the wringer.

They just showed the man who lost his family on the news (wife, 2 young kids, and mother).  He said he doesn't blame the marine pilot.

Very tragic . Too bad anybody has to receive a blame. Too much finger pointin' goes on if you ask me.  :rolleyes
