EA-18G Growler Crashes into San Diego Bay
The process of recovering a fighter jet that crashed into San Diego Bay this week after its two-member crew safely ejected during an apparent mechanical emergency could take as long as two weeks, the Navy advised Friday. The EA-18G Growler went down near Shelter Island amid rainy and misty conditions about 10:15 a.m. Wednesday during an aborted landing approach to Naval Air Station North Island, authorities said. Witnesses described seeing the plane flying at what seemed to be unusually low altitudes just before it nosedived into the harbor. After the crew members were pulled from the water by the crew of a fishing boat, paramedics took the aviators to UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest for evaluations. They were in listed good condition on Wednesday afternoon. |

Thank you for the slo-mo!! I assume that the secondary brown cloud is mud from the bottom of the bay there.  |

I think the trick was not being in the jet when it crashed into the water.

Re: EA-18G Growler Crashes into San Diego Bay
I wouldn't call it that, might lead to some confusion in the military supply chain. Also suggest avoiding IED, DUI and - especially - DEI. |
