Jet Explosion (part 2)


This is awful, who knows how many people are dead. Several house engulfed in flame. The pilot ejected, my neighbor saw him/her. This is so terrible. They fly over here all the time, and it feels like they are coming into the houses sometimes. This time they did. Thankfully, not mine, but this is so terrible, I hope people weren't there. I was in the shower, and I hit the ground when several explosions happened. Louder than guns or backfire, I had no idea, I thought I was dead. I hear the whining noise, metal grinding, rattling, scattered explosions. And then it hit. Screams from the street and the high school nearby. Several house were visible in flames from my front door/balcony.

Photos I've taken here.

I can't tell you how upset I am. This has been waiting to happen. It is horrible, awful, incredibly frightening. I just hope people are ok.

Geez - I'm glad you're unscathed but...why are they flying military planes over residential areas anyway? Play a song for the 3 that didn't make it...

Jeff, I'm glad you posted. And I'm glad you are ok, as are the two pilots. Sounds like it was pretty scary. Are there any other people injured etc.

Holy Crap, Jeff... We had a crash like that here in Stockholm a couple of years ago. At a public air force show with a crowd on the ground. The pilot took crash aim at a small mountain - the only place with no people - and ejected himself into the river.
