US Air Force's F-22, F-35 stealth fighters devastated by mother nature and freak accidents

Description

According to Business Insider, The US Air Force sustained a massive blow to its fleet of stealth fighters in October due to a powerful hurricane possibly destroying 17 F-22s, and an F-35 crash that grounded the entire fleet of Joint Strike Fighters. An F-35B crash in September led to an investigation that led the Pentagon to ground all F-35s until they could clear them of a suspected defect in the fuel lines. Then Hurricane Michael, the most powerful storm of its kind to touch down in Florida for 50 years, absolutely devastated Tyndall Air Force Base, all but wiping it off the map.

  • Endless Devastation of Chilean Forest Fires Seen From the Air

    Drone footage from Los Vilos captured the effects of the ongoing forest fires throughout the countryside of the South American nation of Chile. Raging fires have so far killed 11 people and destroyed over 400,000 acres of forest across Chile in the last week alone. Firefighters continue to battle the blazes but have only see limited success so far. Wildfires are fairly common in Chile during the summer but they have been particularly severe this year due to extremely high temperatures as well as a prolonged drought. Authorities are investigating whether some of the fires may have been started deliberately. Forty people have been detained for questioning in relation to possible arson.
