BEAUFORT, S.C.—Two Marines were able to eject and walk away alive when their fighter jet crashed on the family plantation of South Carolina’s former governor.
The F/A-18D Hornet was on a routine flight over the Beaufort, South Carolina area, on Thursday afternoon, Marine Corp Air Station Beaufort said in a statement. At the crash site, there was smoke coming from the aircraft and a brushfire, military officials said.
