A Marine Corps pilot safely ejected from a fighter jet over South Carolina and was taken to an area hospital. The search for the missing jet centers on two lakes near North Charleston, officials say.
Officials with Joint Base Charleston announced that debris from a missing F-35 fighter jet has been located in Williamsburg County. Authorities said the debris was discovered two hours northeast of JBC. Members of the community should avoid the area as the recovery team secures the debris field, officials said in a statement. The search began on Sept. 17 after a "mishap" caused the pilot to safely eject from the jet.
The pilot ejected and parachuted safely into a North Charleston neighborhood at about 2 p.m. on Sunday. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was in stable condition, said Maj. Melanie Salinas. The pilot's name has not been released.Based on the missing plane's location and trajectory, the search for the F-35 Lightning II jet was focused on Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion, said Senior Master Sgt. Heather Stanton at Joint Base Charleston. Both lakes are north of North Charleston.
