A tragic incident unfolded today as an air force jet crashed into a school in a small town, leaving one person dead and several others injured. The event took place on Wednesday morning at 10:30 am in Willow Creek, involving a military training aircraft and students at Willow Creek High School.
According to eyewitnesses, the jet experienced mechanical issues shortly after takeoff from the nearby airbase. The pilot reportedly tried to steer the failing aircraft away from the town center but ultimately lost control, resulting in the crash into the school building.
One student, who was present during the crash, described the harrowing experience: “My friend died right in front of me. It was a nightmare.” The local authorities have not released the name of the deceased student pending notification of their family.
