[QUOTE]FRESNO, Calif. — A wrong-way driver leading authorities on a high-speed chase crashed through a gate and into a fighter jet at a central California naval base, killing himself and a passenger, authorities said Thursday.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][B]The CHP does not know why the SUV fled, Lt. Dave Knoff said.[/B]
The driver eventually left State Route 198, smashed through a gate at the base and hit the FA-18E Super Hornet parked about 7 miles inside the base, Ashliman said.
He said the chase lasted about 15 minutes.[/QUOTE]

Probably the most interesting thing that will happen in Leemore this year. Feel awful for the maintainers who will have to clean up though.

[Sableye]

so his insurance is going to cover that right?

This is truth, my brother was stationed there and all it is was farm land, an air base, and the constant smell of shit.

Terrible shame that those fleeing died, ironically by a parked war machine. I don't believe the woman who died as well was a willing passenger, so that's terrible too in it's own regard.

What the fuck was the driver thinking? Honestly?

Think that nets the F-18 a little SUV kill mark on the side of the fuselage?

[Chase]

I heard about this, shit sounds crazy.

I'd imagine it already has a rather large suv mark on it

In what ever scrap yard it ends up serving in :v:

[Araknid]

fucking US military kills civilians yet again

[Kuiper]

First ever US Citizen killed by an F-18

It's a sign of dark times

[A B.A. Survivor]

No one was piloting it, so is it technically a drone strike?

[Mallow]

I feel sorry for the hornet :c

[croguy]

Is this technically suicide by warplane?

And on U.S. soil, none less. Is this use of military assets against civilians even constitutional, or should Obama be impeached for this?
