Miramar plane crash LIVE: Horror video as F-35 down at San Diego Marine Corps Air Station

Wade Lott was driving to work at a concrete company just south of the flight line when he saw the incident.

"It just blew up, it was crazy,” said Lott.

He watched from his truck as two jets descended toward the runway together.

The first landed without incident, but the second suddenly began slowing down, almost as if it were trying to hover, he said.

When the jet was about 100 feet above the ground, the pilot ejected and their parachute deployed as they rose about 200 feet into the air just in time.
