On January 16th a German Air Force Tornado crashed at 21:30 southeast of Laubach in Rhineland-Palatinate - 5 km northeast of air base Büchel. Both pilots could eject and survived with only with minor injuries. No civil casualties. The motorway A-48 was temporarily closed because of debris.

It is said that the aircraft was coming in too low and touched something - but this is not yet confirmed.

Sad But thankfully the crew escaped without major injuries.

On a sidenote: the website of the SWR states that it was not a technical fault and they also say it was not a pilot error. I wonder why the Luftwaffe is so sure about both "facts" already...

There's always birds.

1st responders must of been right there with the pic showing one of the crew still in the tree.
