In Virginia Beach, three people remain unaccounted for after a Navy fighter jet crashed into their apartment complex.

The F/A 18 jet experienced problems shortly after takeoff.  Both the student pilot in the front seat and the instructor in back ejected safely.  Meanwhile, the plane slammed into apartments, creating a massive fire that burned several units.

Amazingly, only a half dozen people went to the hospital.  They along with the pilots were treated and released.  The Navy says a mechanical malfunction lead to the crash.
