The pilot of the $100M for over a day parachuted into a South Carolina back yard after a malfunction forced him to eject from the aircraft, causing the plane to crash into a wooded area about 60 miles away, it has been revealed.The pilot, who had departed from Joint Base Charleston on a training mission, 'experienced a malfunction and was forced to eject' on Sunday at an altitude of about 1,000 feet just a mile north of Charleston International Airport, according to a situation report given to AP by the Marine Corps official. 'He's unsure of where his plane crashed, said he just lost it in the weather,' someone can be heard saying of the pilot on audio from a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call shared Tuesday by a local meteorologist.
