Video shows Navy plane crash in San Diego harbor; fishing boat captain describes rescuing pilots from water

A fishing boat on the scene of a Navy fighter jet crash in the San Diego Harbor picked up the two ejected pilots just moments after they landed in the waterway. 

The plane, identified by a Navy official as an EA-18G Growler, a variant of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, was flying in low visibility conditions when it went down around 10:17 a.m. near Naval Air Station North Island, home to Naval Base Coronado. The two pilots were the only crew members aboard. 

The cause of the crash — which was captured on video — is under investigation.
