U.S. Navy 'Blue Angels' Jet Crashes
Reuters
WASHINGTON (April 21) - A Navy F-18 Blue Angel plane crashed during an air show Saturday, according to televised reports.
Witnesses said the planes were flying in formation, and then one dropped down below the trees and apparently crashed.
"The next thing I seen was just a big black cloud of smoke," Gerald Popp, who lives nearby, told CNN.
It was not known if the pilot survived. A coroner told CNN there was at least one fatality. A caller told CNN that there were large holes in homes where the plane went down.
At the Blue Angels command headquarters at Pensacola Naval Air Station the petty officer duty said he "had no comment at this time."
