Video: US Navy jet crashes into apartments in Virginia Beach We've received a total of six patients here. Two are the pilots involved and then four additional folks. Two with smoke annihilation, one individual who passed out at the scene, and the fourth was actually a police officer who was injured at the scene," Thames said. "We have crews now doing detailed primary searches inside the structures to make sure there isn't anybody trapped or injured," he said. The plane was part of a training squadron at Naval Air Station Oceana for Navy and Marine aviators in Virginia Beach. One woman whose home was damaged by the jet crash said she saw the pilot when he was rescued, and that he apologised for what happened. They asked him [the pilot] if he was all right and he said 'I'm sorry I destroyed your home'. And he was covered in blood but he was conscious, so they then, I guess loaded him into an ambulance," she said. Virginia Beach is on the Atlantic Coast about 200 miles south of Washington, DC.
