Two found after warplanes crash

A marine refuelling plane and a fighter jet have crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Japan’s southwestern coast after colliding, with rescuers finding two of the seven crew members.

The US Marine Corps said the 2am crash involved an F/A-18 fighter jet and a KC-130 refuelling aircraft during regular training after the planes took off from their base in Iwakuni, near Hiroshima in western Japan.

The aircraft were carrying seven crew members.
