Also this is one crash. Its hardly surprising. We had mechanical failures leading to crashes in every war since aircraft where introduced to the military in WWI. This (depending on how you define the term) might not be called a war, or at least is a very small one at this point, but many small applications of force also had cases of mechanical failure leading to aircraft crashes. Its normal. It would not surprise me if it happens to another US or allied aircraft or more than one, before this is over, unless its somehow wrapped up very soon. Its sort of a "dog bites man" story. There have been two more crashes....both F15e's. Thanks to one of those crashes and the trigger happiness of an American Marine a young Libyan who came out to help the ejected pilot is now in the hospital getting his leg amputated. Collateral damage that shouldn't have happened.
