A US F-15 crashed around Weston Hill in the United Kingdom. The pilot survived with only one minor injury. The details concerning the reason for the crash have not been released.
Ever since after the Revolutionary War, The United Kingdom and England have been allies to the US for many wars and events. But you never know, they could have reasons, even if silly, to want to shoot down an ally's plane. But it could have also been an accident; with the United Kingdom being in Europe, close the situations going on with ISIS and the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, they could have just shot down the plane thinking it was one of the terrorists' planes. I think it was an accident because the UK has (almost) always been on our side.
It would be very interesting to hear the pilot's account when details are released.
