- After suffering an in-flight emergency off the coast in South Korea early of Wednesday, a United States Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed over the waters west of the Korean Peninsula at around 8:41 a.m. The incident occurred approximately 110 miles south of Seoul.
The pilot ejected safely and was conscious. He is currently being assessed by medical staff at a nearby medical facility.
Though there are no indications of correlation, this marks the third crash of a South Korea-based F16 in less than a year.
