NAVAL AIR STATION NORTH ISLAND, San Diego – The crash site of the U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler that went down earlier today has been identified in San Diego Bay. The aircraft remains submerged, and response teams are actively assessing the scene.

The Navy says some pieces of debris may resemble weapons or classified components. They are asking the public not to approach, touch, or collect any pieces that may wash ashore.

Military crews worked Thursday to recover a fighter jet that crashed into San Diego Bay and sank this week after its two-person crew safely ejected during an apparent mechanical emergency.
