The fighter aircraft was reported to have been lost earlier this month with the pilot rescued soon after the crash. The British Ministry of Defense (MoD) has not revealed further details citing security concerns. With investigations regarding the crash still ongoing, there is a lot of speculation about its possible causes. Some of these might be put to rest with the emergence of this video that appears to be a mobile phone recording of the accident footage.
