3 unaccounted for after Navy fighter jet crashes into apartments
(CNN) -- Rescue workers in Virginia were trying to locate three people still unaccounted for Saturday, a day after a Navy fighter jet crashed into apartment buildings in Virginia Beach, authorities said.
At least seven people were injured when the fighter jet experienced a "catastrophic mechanical malfunction" during takeoff Friday, raining jet fuel over the military community of Virginia Beach before its fiery crash that damaged five apartment buildings, according to residents and Navy officials.
There were no immediate reports of fatalities, though authorities were searching for the three people, Riley said.
The jet carried a student pilot in the front seat and an experienced instructor behind him, and the dumping of jet fuel was "one of the indications that there was a mechanical malfunction," Navy Capt. Mark Weisgerber told reporters.
