“I guess we’ve got a pilot in our house, and he says he got ejected.”
That was the 911 call received in Charleston County, South Carolina, after an F-35B Lightning II fighter jet crashed Sunday, according to audio released by the county government.
In the 911 call, the dispatcher at first appears surprised by the caller: “I’m sorry — what happened?”
“We’ve got a pilot in the house, and I guess he landed in my backyard, and we’re trying to see if we can an ambulance to the house, please,” the caller responds.
