: A Blue Angel crashed Saturday afternoon while performing at an air show at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
: Authorities say the pilot, still not identified, was killed in the crash. It appears that the plane struck a tall pine
: tree and traveled another block before crashing near Pine Grove subdivision, a heavily populated area. Parts of the
: plane hit several houses.
:
: It was not immediately known whether anyone else was hurt in the crash, though witnesses said they saw shrapnel on the
: ground and at least one home on fire.
:
: Reports indicate that it was Blue Angel No. 6 that crashed. It's unclear who was piloting that F/A-18.
:
: Emergency crews at the scene of the crash site called for the coroner about 4:20 p.m., indicating that the pilot was
: killed in the crash.
:
: The Blue Angel crashed about 30 minutes into the unit's show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
:
: Jason Keith, of Yemassee, said he was driving west on Laurel Bay Road when he saw the plane crash behind the Food Lion
: grocery story, which is south of the road.
:
: "Something caught my eye, and all of a sudden I saw a huge black explosion," he said. "The plane went down, and we
: watched it for awhile and I didn't see any parachute or anything. If he had been 400 yards to his right he would have
: plowed into the road. The other guys were just flying along."
:
: Keith said he saw a home catch fire.
:
: Tim Stamps, 18, said he was walking down the road, coming back from Food Lion, when he saw the plane circling in the
air
: and smoking.
:
: He also saw the left side of a house covered in shrapnel and the windows are busted out.
