A Marine pilot ejected from an F/A-18 Hornet shortly before it crashed into a mountainside during a routine training exercise about 55 miles southeast of Seattle. The crash sparked a wildfire with emergency crews rushing to fight it while also evacuating campers from the area. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
