Military fighter jet crashes into San Diego Bay off Point Loma coast.
Two pilots were rescued after a fighter jet crashed into the San Diego Bay in the area of 1401 Shelter Island Drive Wednesday morning, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
A U.S. Navy spokesperson confirmed to ABC 10News that the aircraft was an E/A-18 G Growler. The spokesperson said the aircrew safely ejected, and they were taken out of the water. The U.S. Coast Guard says the pilots were rescued by good Samaritans in a fishing boat after they were only in the water for a minute.
The pilots were then transferred to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection boat on the scene before being taken to the hospital, per the Coast Guard.
The Port of San Diego Harbor Police Department held a 1 p.m. press conference to provide more information about the fighter jet crash.
