Search resumes for missing child after jet crash

INVESTIGATORS yesterday resumed the search for a child missing in the wreckage of a residential area where a military fighter jet crashed, killing three people.

The F/A-18D Hornet crashed into a street on Monday, about 4km from marine corps air station Miramar as the pilot was returning from a training flight.

Three people — a mother, her baby and a grandmother — were killed in one house and officials said a fourth person, believed to be a small child, was in the house and had not been found. The search for the child had been suspended during the night.
