Video shows military jet crashing into Texas neighborhood after colliding with bird
The pilot was preparing to land at a nearby Navy base in Texas when a bird collided with the plane moments before it crash landed in a residential neighborhood.
A newly released video shows the moment a bird flew into a Navy jet conducting a training exercise before it crashed into a residential neighborhood in Texas, damaging at least one home.

The crash occurred on Sept. 19, 2021 when a U.S. Navy T-45C Goshawk jet trainer from Kingsville was going to land at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Fox Dallas reported.

The footage shows a bird flying into the jet as the aircraft was descending. The pilot is heard saying he has an emergency and would try to make it to a runway.
