Heard the bang, saw the smoke, jet crash
Sad day for VB residents, this happens every twenty years or so.

40 apartments destroyed and not one person killed.
It certainly was a "Good" Friday

I have great regard for military (and civilian) pilots the world over, they all seem to have an "automatic default position"
They will sacrifice their plane and their lives (and crew) rather than risk killing a single civilian.......... even by accidentLimey Carpenter

I know the area, actually drove down 264 to the beach saturday, it's amazing no one was killed. And if the problem had happen 10 seconds later the plane would have crashed into the ocean.

Heres the video of the jet crash seconds afterwards and the arrival of the fire dept. 40 units wiped out and no injuries.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yWyc...&feature=share
