Jet powered Black Widow fighter crash description
A company spokesman described the right hand engine area of the jet powered Black Widow night fighter as burning for minutes before a crash. Witnesses noted an explosion but officials could not confirm. The control system burned through and the sudden twisting of the speeding aircraft may have caused it to disintegrate. Top speed listed at over 600 miles per hour as fiery debris ignited nearby.
