U.S. F-16 Fighter Jet Crashes in Germany, Pilot Safe

An American F-16 fighter jet from Spangdahlem Air Base in western Germany crashed Tuesday. The pilot ejected — escaping with a parachute — and is getting medical care, the U.S. military said. Emergency crews secured the crash site. The cause is under investigation. I see no sign of a wider threat, but training crashes get close attention from nearby communities.
