“An accident? An accident is when I think I’m going to fart and then pee my pants. This is a little more than an accident, my friends…” writes a user on X (formerly Twitter). He responds to a call from the US Marine Air Base Charleston for help.
“We are working with MCAS Beaufort SC to locate an F-35 that was involved in an accident this afternoon. The pilot ejected safely. If you have information that could help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600,” the statement said.
“Have you looked in Ukraine?”
