A grainy and wobbly leaked video of security cameras appears to show a US fighter jet crashing onto the deck of USS Carl Vinson - an aircraft carrier before being engulfed in flames and sliding into the sea, reports Forces.net
Now unofficial reports indicate that US Navy personnel are now desperately heading to the scene to salvage the F-35C Lightning II which contains highly classified technology before Chinese submarines can get there and steal the wreckage.
The incident has resulted in seven sailors being injured, with three requiring evacuation to a medical facility in Manila, Philippines, where they are in a stable condition, according to Pacific Fleet.
