The fact that the US military had to ask the public for help in finding an F-35 fighter jet was very unusual. A recording of an emergency call that has now been published about the incident in the American state of South Carolina is just as bizarre. Review: Last weekend a pilot escaped from the stealth plane via the ejection seat due to a “glitch”. The fighter plane then disappeared; the wreckage was not found by the US military until a day later. The incident caused ridicule.
An emergency call from a man on whose property the pilot is said to have landed has now become public. The local administration confirmed the authenticity of the emergency call to the German news agency.
“I think we have a pilot in the house who says he used an ejection seat to eject himself from a plane,” the man says to the woman at the emergency operator in the conversation. “Excuse me, what happened?” she asks in disbelief. After some back and forth, the pilot finally intervened: “There was a military jet crash. I’m the pilot. I’m not sure where the plane is. It must have landed somewhere and I got thrown out.”
The woman at the emergency call center finally asks how far the pilot fell. The pilot’s response: “About 2,000 feet.” The response: a brief silence and then the question: “What caused the fall?” Answer: “Airplane malfunction.” The pilot finally says: “I feel good. My back hurts.” When asked if there had been a report of a plane crash, the surprised woman at the emergency center said no.
Finally, the pilot seems to lose his nerve a bit: “I am a pilot of a military aircraft and I used the ejection seat. I just landed on the ground with a parachute. Can you please send an ambulance?” The answer is that it is already underway. The woman at the emergency call center finally advises the pilot: “Don’t eat or drink anything from now on, it could make you sick or cause even more problems. And don’t move unless absolutely necessary.” (sda/dpa)
