All accounted for after Navy fighter jet crashes into apartments

Residents who were missing after a Navy fighter jet crashed into apartment buildings in Virginia Beach were accounted for Saturday, but authorities have yet to give the "all clear" until they check under the wreckage, the fire department said.

Rescue workers had been searching for three people who were missing. No one had been reported missing, but rescue crews used a checklist of occupants in the buildings in an effort to account for all residents, said Virginia Beach Fire Department Battalion Chief Tim Riley.

At least seven people, including the two pilots, were injured. Only one of the pilots still remained at the Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital on Saturday. He was listed in "good condition."

More than two dozen people spent the night at the temporary shelter.

The fighter jet experienced a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" during takeoff Friday, raining jet fuel over the military community of Virginia Beach before its fiery crash that damaged five apartment buildings, according to residents and Navy officials.

The jet carried a student pilot in the front seat and an experienced instructor behind him, and the leakage of jet fuel was "one of the indications that there was a mechanical malfunction," Navy Capt. Mark Weisgerber told reporters
