Fighter jet crashes in California, killing three
An F/A-18D Hornet crashed into a residential neighborhood near San Diego Monday, killing at least three people on the ground. The pilot ejected safely, and there was no indication he was using alcohol or drugs, according to a spokeswoman at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Officials did not speculate on the cause of the crash, though hundreds of F/A-18s were inspected recently for fatigue cracks. Last month, the Navy grounded 10 of the jets and restricted 20 more pending repairs.
