## Resource

An F-16 fighter jet crashed in a Michigan field Thursday, sending up a fireball and forcing evacuations after a suspected bird strike caused engine failure. The pilot ejected safely and is now stable in a local hospital, while authorities deal with a hazardous chemical spill linked to onboard ammunition. No ground injuries reported, but the military’s investigation is underway as bird strikes remain a major aviation hazard.
