Raw video footage of aftermath of F18 Fighter Jet crash in California, from the first firefighters on scene.

From the article:

The Navy jet crashed into a residential neighborhood, destroying three homes and damaging others. The pilot was able to eject and parachuted into a nearby canyon.

Shortly before 3 p.m. at a news conference, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and a military official both sent out their condolences to the family of the victims. Their identities have not yet been released. Officials said that four people were thought to be in the house. One person is still missing.

The plane went down in University City near Interstate 805 at about noon P.T. Aerials of the crash scene show debris in the street and most of one home destroyed. The smoke is so thick at the corner of Huggins Street and Cather Avenue that it’s making it difficult to breathe, prompting some homeowners to voluntarily evacuate the area. There may be additional health threats as well, and hazmat teams are on the scene, assessing cleanup efforts.

Prayers go out to the families of loved ones lost.
