00:00Two U.S. Navy aircraft crash in the South China Sea, just 30 minutes apart.
00:05But here's the wild part. Every crew member survived.
00:08On October 26th, the USS Nimitz was on a mission in the South China Sea.
00:13At 2.45 p.m. local time, a Navy Seahawk helicopter plunged into the ocean during routine operations.
00:20All three crew members were rescued safely.
00:22Then, just 30 minutes later, an F-A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet also went down.
00:28Both pilots ejected and were saved by Carrier Air Wing 11's search and rescue team.
00:32The region is already tense.
00:34China keeps ignoring a 2016 court ruling and continues to claim most of the South China Sea.
00:40So, the U.S. Navy stays active there to protect freedom of navigation.
00:45But these crashes raise concerns.
00:47This is the third Super Hornet crash in less than a year.
00:50Each jet costs over $60 million.
00:52And now, questions are swirling around the aging USS Nimitz, set to retire next year.
00:57Two crashes.
00:59Zero lives lost.
01:00But with tensions rising and equipment aging.
01:03The stakes in the South China Sea have never been higher.
