An F-16 fighter jet and a small plane collided in midair Tuesday over South Carolina, raining down plane parts and debris.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the fighter jet collided with a Cessna C150 around 11 a.m. The collision happened about 11 miles north of Charleston.

No other details were immediately available. It was not immediately known how many people were on the planes and whether anyone survived. It also was not immediately known if anyone was hurt on the ground.

North Charleston Fire Department spokeswoman Bianca Bourbeau said the agency has sent a chief and a marine unit to assist Berkeley County with a reported plane crash, and will send other help as needed.

The F-16 pilot ejected safely according to the folks at Shaw. Haven't heard anything on the other pilot or anyone on the ground. Supposedly it was over water down around lake Marion or Moultrie

That damn Confederate flag just keeps on bringing death and destruction.

C150's are tiny...I'd be surprised if anyone survived. If the F-16 hit it at any sort of speed, other than just a minor clip, odds are anyone in a C150 was killed on impact.

Rumors are that the plane was painted orange and had an 01 on the door.

Was it an attack by the North Korean Air Force?
