YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Shocking video shows the US military fighter jet that crashed in San Diego Harbor on Wednesday smack into the water and explode moments after both pilots ejected to safety. NY Post reporter Georgia Worrell shares this story.

The two-seat EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jet is seen darting down from the sky and slamming into the cold harbor water at 10:17 a.m., according to video obtained by CBS 8 San Diego.

As the jet impacted the surface, a massive plume of smoke and water shot into the air before disappearing off the shore near Shelter Island, a neighborhood located across the bay from Naval Air Station North Island.

“The plane hit the water, and there was an explosion. A lot of black plumes, and then it just like got sucked into the water,” one witness told the outlet. “Within 15 seconds, there was nothing.”

The two Navy pilots were rescued by a fishing boat in the harbor shortly after they ejected.
