New footage released shows an EA-18G Growler jet crashing into the San Diego Bay this morning.

The two pilots ejected before the jet crashed into the water.

The crash caused an 80 foot plume of water and mud, according to a witness.

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the jet was performing a “go around maneuver” when the incident unfolded.

The pilots both landed in the water and were picked up by a nearby fishing boat. They were sent to the hospital and are now in stable condition.

“Captain Brandon Viets and the crew of the Premier acted swiftly, and thanks to their professionalism, were able to bring these pilots to safety,” said the manager of the company that books the fishing boats.
