How tragic, the people on the ground never knew what hit them. That Navy pilot will never forget what happened to them, nor will he ever get over it. From witness reports, the jet was silent before it hit the ground so it appears he may have lost his engines. The good news is the pilot survived.

Now maybe they will close Miramar since the city has completely surounded the area/

You know the alternative for Miramar is 29Palms right? I hope they dont close Miramar. It would all but guarantee expansion of 29Palms.

Closing the base would not fix anything. You would have 100 times the air traffic in that area once the county moved the International Airport there.

No it's not. Yuma or Lemoore are better options. They already have the facilities. 29 palms doesn't even have a real runway.
