A U.S. pilot safely ejected from an F-16 fighter jet Tuesday before the plane crashed into the ocean off South Korea.
The currently-unidentified F-16 pilot was over South Korea’s southwestern shores out of Kunsan Air Base, when around 8:41 a.m. local time on Wednesday (6:41 p.m. Tuesday, EST) he experienced an “in-flight emergency,” which led to the crash, 8th Fighter Wing Public Affairs said in a statement. The pilot managed to eject from the plane before the crash and was recovered less than an hour later. He was conscious and was transported to a medical facility for further assessment.

Dang. Hopefully the pilot is okay and the problem wasn't caused by him or her.
