    Impossible to tell from the information given. The F-16 is a single-engine fighter--if the engine quits so does the airplane. F-16s have been brought down by bird strikes, electronic failure and pilot error.

    Fortunately nobody was killed and I hope the pilot recovers from his injuries.

    first of all. The Pilot replaced right into a Marine Avaitor related to a joint army and Marine Corp fighter coach squadran So formerly you commence conversing crap get your information straight away. 2d whilst the pilot accomplished his education undertaking and suffered his flame out from a million engine the provider have been he replaced into doing his education from replaced into returing to port and uable to get well his plane so he replaced into vectored for Miramar. Miramar ATC than gave the pilot the flight course and vectored him in for extremely final on the departure trend. It wasnt untill the pilot had suffered a catastophic engine failure of his 2d engine that he replaced into forced to punch out. The plane replaced into aimed for the Canyon and the pilot rode the airplane down till the final 2d formerly he replaced into forced to eject at 25 feet. The FA 18/D great hornet has ejection seat capacity that would enable a pilot to punch out from the floor and have adequate top that a parachute would be able to open and he may be cleared a procedures adequate from the ejection seat that he might basically go through minor or reasonable injuries. Ejecting in actual existence human beings is unlike punching out interior the action pictures the place you stroll away and are able to circulate approximately your existence you face severe spinal and long bone injuries. I dont understand procedures to take a seat down there and blame the pilot whilst the FAA and NTSB have not compleated there learn. So get your information mutually and stop watching the information they are in it for the rankings and couldnt care much less if what they are telling you is real on the time they are able to consistently blame somebody else after the fact.

    How are we supposed to know? The accident team hasn't published their findings yet...

    So unless somewhere here is on that team and knows intimately what happened (which can't even be ascertained so soon), then anything we say will just be pure speculation.

    It could have been mechanical failure, pilot error, bird strike, etc.

    Probably a Chair Force Pilot (just kidding Air Force). The government pays allot of money for Incident Investigations and spend allot of time getting to the bottom of this, why would you think someone here would have more insight?

    What do you mean who is responsible? Military aircraft crash during training excercises all the time. This is inherently dangerous stuff.

    It's a physics thing, when Bernoulli quits, Newton tends to take over...

    Responsible for what? Accidents happen and no one was hurt.

    I didn't read the article, but the answer is North Korea. Whether it was pilot error, a malfunction, crappy parts, or what ever it may be, the reason the pilot was there was to assist South Korea in defense. So, by default...North Korea.

    Source(s): My two cents...although in what currency that is who knows!
