Horrific Crash Of A Chinese Fighter Jet Captured On Video

A Chinese FBC-1 fighter jet plane was performing at an air show until things went horrifically wrong. The fighter jet started spiralling out of control and then plunged straight down, crashing into the ground and exploding on impact.

In the video above, you can see a pilot eject from his seat just in the nick of time. He only suffered minor injuries. Sadly, the FBC-1 is a two-seater jet and the other pilot was stuck inside the cockpit as the fighter jet lost control. The China state-run Xinhua news says that the other pilot is currently missing.
