How modern the fighter aircraft is, it won't stop it from crashing that's a fact and also small Cessna that supposed to be safest light plane still crash although a 3 years old child did escaped from it. So here's what happen.
A Japanese fighter jet crashed an instant after takeoff and went up in flames on Wednesday and lightly injuring the two pilots.
The F-2B fighter,two seated version (Above Picture) a new Japanese fighter aircraft that design with a collaboration of Mitsubishi and Lockheed, no wonder its appeared more like Lockheed F-16 Falcon was being taken up on a test flight prior to delivery to Japan's air force when it crashed, said Hideo Ikuno, a spokesman for the Daiya public relations firm representing the plane's maker, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Mitsubishi had been conducting a regular inspection on the aircraft for the air force, top government spokesman Nobutaka Machimura said. The pilot appears to have aborted the takeoff, but the reason for this is not yet clear, he said.
Wednesday's accident was the first involving an F-2 fighter since Japan's air force began deploying them in 2000, air force spokesman 1st Lt. Yuki Shiiba said.
A total of 75 F-2s, including the one involved in Wednesday's mishap, have been deployed so far, he said.
The F-2 is Japan's operational support fighter.
While a Light airplane a Cessna 172 (Example Picture Above, not actual airplane that's invlove in the crash)carrying 3 passengers crash in Canada's Rocky Mountains. A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl survived and found hanging upside down in a safety seat for four hours before being rescued. She lost her grandfather who operated the Cessna 172 and also the co-pilot when the plane slammed into a icy creek bed, nose first.
When rescuers finally reached her in the treacherous mountain terrain, she told them her name, Kate Williams, and asked for her teddy bear, said the daily Globe and Mail.
"I had to brush off the teddy bear before she would take it."
Authorities said the 65-year-old pilot had left his home in Golden, British Columbia, on Sunday afternoon en route to Edmonton, Alberta, where he owned an engineering company.
An hour later, the aircraft began transmitting a distress signal.
Bad weather complicated the search, but a rescue helicopter finally landed on a nearby logging road just before nightfall, and rescuers seized her from the carnage.
The little girl was hospitalised overnight, and discharged late yesterday.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Marko Shehovac said it was a “miracle” the little girl survived the crash.
Her grandfather likely saved her life by “buckling her in real good,” he said.
Yes, it's really a miracle for her to survived the crash although she lost he grandpa and another pilot. While the two pilot in the fighter jet are lucky because modern jet equipped with injection seat, that's probably save them.
