"A U.S. military jet crashed in Libya after an equipment malfunction but its two crewmembers ejected and are safe, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
Vince Crawley, a spokesman for the Africa Command, says both sustained minor injuries and were separated because they used parachutes to eject from the F-15E Strike Eagle jet at high altitudes, ending up in different areas.
The crash occurred Monday night at 2130 GMT (5:30 p.m. EST). Its exact location was not given.
One crew member has been recovered and an operation is currently under way to recover the other one - "but we know he's safe," said Ken Fidler, another spokesman for Africa Command."
