Breaking: Debris from Missing $80 Million F-35 Stealth Fighter Found in South Carolina
Williamsburg, SC — Officials from Joint Base Charleston have confirmed the discovery of debris from the missing F-35 stealth fighter jet, valued at $80 million. The debris was located in a field near Williamsburg County, north of Charleston, South Carolina. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
The high-profile incident occurred on Sunday when the F-35B pilot safely ejected, and the aircraft continued to fly. The stealth fighter was later found near the town of Stuckey, situated more than 63 miles from the North Charleston backyard where the pilot successfully landed.
Footage of the debris:
“This is a significant development in an ongoing investigation that has captivated military and aviation experts,” a representative from Joint Base Charleston said. “Recovery and analysis operations are underway to determine the cause of this unfortunate event.”
The disappearance of the F-35 had led the U.S. Marines to issue a two-day ‘stand-down’ for all aviation units, both domestic and international. The stand-down was seen as an unprecedented move, reflecting the gravity of losing a state-of-the-art stealth fighter.
