A pilot was reported to be “safe and under observation” after they ejected from a fighter jet during a failed vertical landing at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth in Texas on Thursday, December 15, according to police.

“We are aware of the F-35B crash on the shared runway at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth and understand that the pilot ejected successfully,” Lockheed Martin said in a statement to local media. “Safety is our priority, and we will follow appropriate investigation protocol.”

Footage captured by Kitt Wilder shows the aircraft landing before bouncing off the runway and turning on its side. The pilot is seen ejecting and parachuting to the ground before the aircraft comes to a halt.
