The other 2 pilots ejected safely, One of the jets crashed into a neighborhood

Regardless of what you may think of how any of this has anything to do with any past accidents or misfortunes, this isn't the place or the time IMHO.

I say RIP,  :salute , and Godspeed to the lost pilot and hope for the blessings and full recovery of anyone else hurt in this sad incident.
