<p>
<strong>A new video of the US Navy F-35 warplane crashing on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson last month has gone viral on social media today.</strong></p>
<p>
The F-35C Lightning II, assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, had a landing mishap on deck while USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) was conducting routine flight operations in the South China Sea on January 24.<br />
<br />
The US Navy, in a statement issued immediately after the accident, had said that the pilot managed to eject safely from the aircraft and was recovered via a US military helicopter.<br />
<br />
"There were seven total Sailors injured; three Sailors required MEDEVAC to a medical treatment facility in Manila, Philippines, and four were treated by on-board medical personnel," the statement from the US Pacific Fleet had added saying that the cause of the inflight mishap is under investigation. </p>
