Authorities locate debris of F-35 fighter jet that crashed in South Carolina

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Authorities found a debris field Monday from a Marine Corps F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed in South Carolina after the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety.

The field is about two hours north-east of the base, and residents were being asked to avoid the area while the recovery team worked to secure it.

Authorities had been searching for the jet since the pilot, whose name hasn’t been released, parachuted to safety into a North Charleston neighborhood about 2pm Sunday.

The Marine Corps announced Monday it was pausing operations for two days after the fighter jet’s crash – the third costly accident in recent weeks.

Gen Eric Smith, the acting commandant of the Marine Corps, ordered the stand-down while authorities searched near two South Carolina lakes for the missing FB-35B Lightning II aircraft.

A South Carolina law enforcement division helicopter joined the search after some bad weather cleared in the area, Stanton said.
