A US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet slipped off an aircraft carrier and sank into the Red Sea as the ship was making a hard turn, possibly to avoid fire from Houthi forces, according to reports.
The $56 million warplane was lost, but the pilot made it out alive.
The jet was being towed out of a hangar on Monday on the USS Harry S. Truman when the carrier suddenly shifted, and the tractor pulling it lost control, sending both the jet and the vehicle overboard.
