I'm sure everyone has heard about the F/A- 18 Fighter Jet that crashed into a San Diego home the other day. The pilot was forced to eject from the plane as both engines were lost. Unfortunately where it occurred led to the plane crashing into the home in the University City neighborhood killing a mother, her child, and the child's grandmother.
The whole ordeal is terribly sad and it got me to thinking about how bad the pilot must have felt. He lost both engines and was put in a life or death situation over a populated area when he was just supposed to be training. That must have been ridiculous. What would you do in that situation though? If you don't eject you go down with the plane and would probably end up crashing into the same home anyways? Would there have been enough time for the pilot to have steered clear of the home if he had stayed in the plane longer before ejecting? Would you risk your own life to possibly save others that may or may not be in the homes below. There is no way the pilot knew that people would even be in their homes at the time or that the plane would end up crashing exactly on a house rather than in a yard or something? I was just wondering what people think about the accident?
