Doh. Lets hope it was a simple accident and/or collision. I'd rather a couple of USN personnel were in trouble for hitting each other than find Armoureddinnerjacket and his mob had anything to do with it.

It does raise a few questions after the supposed confrontation with the US navy recently.
However I doubt thats the case.

Loaded or not-loaded.... maybe they didnt want the neighbours to sniff around in the debris field after the crash (one or both of the aircraft is a E hornet) and went over the territorial line.
