Surprisingly after 24h, debris from the jet was found near Williamsburg County in South Carolina. Witnesses say they heard a boom before the jet crashed in a wooded area. Pilot of the jet ejected and parachuted safely into a residential backyard. Questions arise as people wonder how the jet got lost, and how it could have flown 100 km pilotless before crashing. The $100 million jet is apparently the most advanced fighter jet in the U.S arsenal.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Brescia-Western University merger:<\/strong><\/span><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The only \u2018all-womens\u2019 University will soon be a thing of the past.
