Here are the first photo from the scene, taken just minutes ago. The two Navy pilots managed to successfully eject and, as of this writing, no one was killed. Three people, including the pilots, have been hospitalized with minor injuries. UPDATED: Video of the immediate aftermath has surfaced.
The burning fuselage of an F/A-18 Hornet lies smoldering after crashing into a residential building in Virginia Beach, Va., Friday, April 6, 2012. The Navy did not immediately return telephone messages left by The Associated Press, but media reports indicate the two aviators were able to eject from the jet before it crashed. They were being treated for injuries that were not considered life threatening.
