Moody releases pictures of jet crash site

Pictures of the site of that Moody Air Force Base jet crash show a huge hole in the ground and scorched land.

A Moody A-10-C Thunderbolt Two went down here just northeast of Berlin in rural Cook County around 2:45 Monday afternoon.

23rd Wing Commander Col. Billy Thompson said Tuesday, "For the next several weeks, a trained investigation board will focus their exclusive efforts on collecting and protecting evidence from the scene and gathering and analyzing all relevant data with the specific purpose of determining the cause so we may prevent future mishaps."

The pilot ejected and is fine now after being treated at Memorial Hospital of Adel.
