A Russian fighter jet has crashed during the Thunder Over Michigan air show after it reportedly experienced malfunctions. Two people parachuted from the MiG-23 and landed in the Belleville Lake during Sunday's demonstration, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed. Officials confirmed that the pilots were pulled out of the water and will be OK. No injuries were reported in the crash area either. A Twitter user who is said to have witnessed the crash wrote that the craft appeared to backfire* before it went down, but the cause of the crash hasn't been confirmed.
*I’m pretty sure that what that Twitter user saw was the explosive charge from the ejection seats.
