A Taiwanese fighter jet crashes during a training exercise and the pilot is found safe

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan’s defense ministry says a fighter jet crashed during a nighttime training exercise on Tuesday but the pilot who ejected has been found safe. The ministry says the Mirage 2000 jet lost power. The pilot was conscious and taken to a military hospital for an exam. He had been flying off the coast of Hsinchu, a city south of Taipei on the island’s west side. Taiwan purchased Mirage 2000 jets from France during the 1990s.
