The crash site of a Marine Corps F-35 stealth fighter jet, which went missing during the weekend, was located in rural South Carolina. The discovery followed a public appeal by the military to assist in locating the jet designed to evade detection. The pilot had earlier ejected and parachuted safely into a North Charleston neighborhood and was later hospitalized in stable condition. The recent crash led the Marine Corps to pause operations temporarily, marking the third significant accident in recent weeks.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The debris of the missing Marine Corps F-35 jet was found in Williamsburg County, South Carolina.
  2. The pilot safely ejected before the crash and is now in stable condition at a hospital.
  3. This is the third “Class-A mishap” in six weeks, with such events resulting in significant damage, destruction, or severe injuries.
  4. Gen. Eric Smith, acting commandant of the Marine Corps, ordered a stand-down in operations as authorities investigated.
  5. Previous accidents include a V-22B Osprey crash in Australia killing three Marines and another jet crash near a San Diego base taking a pilot’s life.
