The pilot, who said he was 47, reported feeling “OK” after falling what he estimated was 2,000 feet. “Ma'am, a military jet crashed. The Marines have described the pilot as an experienced aviator with decades of experience in the cockpit. The F-35 crashed Sunday after a malfunction prompted the pilot to eject over Charleston and land in the residential backyard not far from Charleston International Airport. However, the Marines said the feature that kept the plane flying may not only have saved the life of the pilot but of others on the ground.

The pilot, who has not been identified by the Marine Corps, did not have serious injuries and has been discharged from the hospital. Then there’s the Marine Corps’ F-35B variant, which can hover and take off and land vertically like a helicopter. The Marine Corps’ variant has a specialized seat that can auto eject to better protect pilots in case an incident occurs while the plane is in hover mode. The 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing told AP that there was an “investigation ongoing” and would not share any more details. The Marine Corps announced Monday it was pausing aviation operations for two days after the fighter jet’s crash.

Since early June, Celentano has commuted by plane once a week to her summer internship at Ogilvy Health in Parsippany, New Jersey, from her parent's house in Charleston, South Carolina. Celentano didn't want to join the legions of summer interns fighting for affordable housing in and around New York City. And her job only requires her to be in the office — about a 45-minute drive from downtown Manhattan — once, sometimes twice, per week. For Celentano, commuting four-plus hours by plane weekly was a much easier pill to swallow than paying New York rent for three months on an intern's salary. "I didn't think twice about it," Celentano, a rising senior at the University of Virginia, tells CNBC Make It.
