| Emergency crews searched the charred remains of a Virginia Beach apartment complex after a fighter jet crashed into it just after takeoff in what Navy officials called a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction."
Two Navy pilots — a student and an instructor from nearby Naval Air Station Oceana — ejected just before the jet careened into the apartment complex, demolishing sections of some buildings and engulfing others in flames.
