Seven Sailors Injured In F-35 Landing Mishap

Seven sailors were injured on Monday after an F-35 jet suffered a "landing mishap" on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea. The U.S. Pacific Fleet said in a statement published that the pilot of the fighter jet “safely ejected from the aircraft and was recovered via U.S. military helicopter,”. It is unclear what exact injuries were sustained by the sailors aboard. The Navy said three sailors required medical evacuation to a medical treatment facility in Manila, Philippines and were assessed as being in stable condition. The other four were treated by on-board medical personnel.
