This is a viral video of the last moments of the F35 before it crashes into the aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson in the South China Sea in a failed approach…

From the short clip, it seems like the fighter jet had hit the deck really hard, as the video shows debris flying off from the impact before the video abruptly ended.

Debris can be see flying off the deck after the crash happened off the view of the video.

7 personnels were reportedly injured from the accident and there are talks about a race to get to the wreckage between the Chinese and the Americans – this however cannot be verified to be true. But the wreckage could reveal a lot of classified/secret information about the cutting edge fighter thus recovery of the crash jet would indeed be on the priority list of the US Navy operations to be conducted in the South China Sea.
