Jet fighter crashes into house in Vietnam

An air force jet crashed during training and destroyed a house in central Vietnam early today, but the two pilots parachuted to safety and no casualties were reported, officials said.

The pilots managed to eject from the Russian-made MIG21 before it crashed into the house at about 9.30am in Binh Dinh province, 700 kilometres north of Ho Chi Minh City, said an officer at provincial military command who identified himself only as Sau.
