USFooty Executive Board Member Survives Navy Jet Plane Crash
An Australian mailman has told of his incredible escape from a fighter jet crash in America that has killed at least three people.
Bill Dusting, formerly of St Kilda, said he managed to dive for cover as a F/A-18D Hornet slammed into a San Diego street, flattening houses and killing residents.
Mr Dusting, 48, was on his midday mail round of the middle-class neighbourhood near Miramar navy base when he heard the loud pop of the pilot ejecting from the jet.
"I heard a bang, bang and I thought someone was shooting at me," Mr Dusting told The Age.
"I looked up and saw the parachute and then I saw the jet, which was pretty much heading straight at me."
