RAF Crew Eject from Jet Before Crash  

LONDON (AP) - Two Royal Air Force pilots ejected from their Tornado 
jet during a training exercise Wednesday, minutes before their plane 
crashed in the sea near a nuclear power station.  

The crew were rescued by an RAF helicopter in a village near Torness, 
East Lothian, and taken to a nearby hospital for medical tests. Both 
appeared to be in stable condition, an RAF spokeswoman said.  

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the plane crash about half a mile from 
shore on the north side of the power station, said Derek Sinclair, a 
member of the team searching for plane wreckage.  

The search for the wreckage is to resume Thursday.
