Unanswered Questions Surround Missing F-35 Fighter Jet Crash

Questions are being raised after an F-35 stealth fighter jet went missing for over 24 hours before its wreckage was found in rural South Carolina. Military investigators are trying to determine why the pilot ejected and why the jet continued flying undetected. The incident has sparked concerns about the tracking capabilities of the advanced warplane. The pilot, who parachuted to safety, was released from the hospital with no reported injuries. The cause of the ejection and the loss of communication are still under investigation, and all Marine Corps aircraft have been grounded for safety discussions. A full investigation is expected to take several months.
