The SHOCKING TRUTH Of The Marine F-35B That Just Crashed

About this video

Max discusses a Marine F-35B crash that occurred on July 31st near Miramar, San Diego. He explains that the F-35B has an automatic ejection system when in STOVL (short takeoff and vertical landing) mode if the lift fan fails, because pilots have less than a second to react in certain situations. Max notes that it’s unclear whether this incident involved an automatic ejection or manual ejection by the pilot, and that a full investigation will determine what happened.
