A J-10 fighter crashed in southern China in the afternoon of Oct. 18, killing the pilot. The crash occurred in the city of Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, which is host to the first ASEAN-China Maritime Training Exercise that started on Oct. 22 and is scheduled to last until Oct. 28.
A woman who works in Zhanjiang spoke with The Epoch Times about the incident on Oct. 19. She reported that the fighter caught fire while airborne and that the pilot seemed to have no chance to use his parachute. The woman’s name has been omitted to protect her identity.
