You Don’t See This Every Day! Fighter Jet Goes Down and Pilot Ejects Close to the Beach!

While fighter jets seem to be meticulously engineered machines that will never have issues, sometimes, the features that have been implemented to make sure that the pilot has a chance of making it to the ground must be used as they have to abandon their craft and fall to the ground.

Now, I’m sure that, if this pilot really had a choice, he would choose to take the path that would put the fewest amount of people in danger, but when you’re going down yourself, sometimes, there isn’t much of a choice as you have to bail out and hope for the best.

This time, however, the situation got mighty hairy as this pilot had to abandon his seat and it all happened to go down near a beach that a whole collection of people swimming at it. This probably wouldn’t have been his first choice at a place to detach himself from the plane but, if it was his only choice, there isn’t much to be argued about there.

Check out the video below as someone standing on shore was able to capture the moment on video as this pilot ejected himself from the cockpit and his craft went down on a crowded beach. Luckily, it looks like it was far enough out that nobody felt any sort of ill effect from the incident.
