Newly released footage captures the dramatic moment a U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler jet crashed into the San Diego Bay this morning. The two pilots onboard successfully ejected just before impact, landing in the water before being rescued by a nearby fishing boat.
Eyewitnesses reported that the crash created an enormous 80-foot plume of water and mud. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the jet was performing a "go-around maneuver" when the incident occurred.
The pilots, who were retrieved by the crew of the fishing boat Premier, were transported to a hospital and are now in stable condition.
“Captain Brandon Viets and the crew of the Premier acted swiftly, and thanks to their professionalism, were able to bring these pilots to safety,” said the manager of the company that books the fishing boats.
Authorities in the United States are currently investigating the cause of the crash, and officials have urged the public to avoid the area as cleanup efforts continue.
