Debris from a missing F-35 military jet, worth $100 million, has been found in rural Williamsburg County, South Carolina, after the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety. The wreckage was discovered two hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston. The cause of the incident is under investigation, and the public has been asked to stay away from the area. The jet was left in autopilot mode after the pilot ejected, potentially complicating its discovery.
