Fighter Jet Crashes in San Diego, Caught on Video​on February 12, 2025 at 8:15 pm

A fighter jet crashed in San Diego Wednesday … and, video captured the plane coming down to the earth in a shocking freefall.

Check out the viral video of a two-seat EA-18G Growler plummeting out of the sky … appearing in a flash before disappearing behind some buildings … and, authorities say the ship crashed into the ocean.

According to San Diego Fire-Rescue, the two pilots in the small craft ejected before it hit the San Diego Bay … and, the Coast Guard says a fishing vessel rescued them shortly after the incident.

The two pilots are in stable condition, according to the Coast Guard … a miracle given the shocking nature of the crash.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Christopher Sappey tells TMZ … the Navy jet is down in the harbor. We’re told the Coast Guard didn’t assist in rescue efforts, but they are enforcing a safety zone around the crash site.

Of course, airplane safety is on everyone’s minds these days after a Black Hawk helicopter collided with the side of an American Airlines flight, killing 67 people two weeks ago.

It’s still unclear what caused that crash … though Donald Trump and other conservatives have implied diversity hiring may have caused the tragedy.

Since that D.C. crash, a plane in Philadelphia went down — and two planes in Seattle collided too. Even celebs are being affected by the crashes — ’cause Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil‘s girlfriend survived a brutal crash in Arizona.
