US EditionFighter jet landing on aircraft carrier goes overboard, forcing pilots to eject
- On Tuesday, an F/A-18 Super Hornet failed to arrest while landing on the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea, causing it to go overboard and forcing two pilots to eject.
- The incident likely resulted from a malfunction of the arrestment device used to catch aircraft upon landing and remains under investigation.
- The two pilots suffered minor injuries and were rescued by helicopter, while the Truman’s crew sustained no injuries, marking the latest mishap during its deployment against Yemen's Houthi rebels.
- The Navy lost the F/A-18 fighter jet, valued at about $60 million, amid ongoing regional conflict where the Houthis have targeted over 100 merchant vessels, disrupting $1 trillion in annual Red Sea trade.
- Although U.S. And Omani officials announced a ceasefire with Houthis pausing attacks on Red Sea ships, the rebels have yet to acknowledge it, leaving regional tensions and maritime security uncertain.
