Watch this Navy fighter jet plunk into the San Diego Bay like a rock

Feb 13, 2025

Not the sort of end you want to see to a $67 million piece of equipment — but at least the pilots got out okay:

You gotta admit, that thing went into the water like an Olympic diver!

Thankfully they got the boys out fine:

More info:

A Navy official told Fox News Digital it is unclear if a distress signal was sent out prior to the crash, and the pilots have not yet been identified.

Reporters at the scene said they saw the fighter jet take off from the runway and then crash into the water, according to KGTV.

Fire officials sent 60 personnel to the scene, including two fire trucks, a foam truck, five engines, a helicopter, two boats and a lifeguard river team.

The pilots were in the water for about a minute, the Coast Guard said. The wreckage remains in the water.

Y'all better go down and get that thing, it's worth a chunk of change!
