To me this is strange. It probably was an F-18, but I know for fact those pilots are trained to stay with the aircraft until they are sure it will not land in a residential area. I saw the aerial shot of the crash site, and if the pilot had done this, the jet would have crashed in a small wooded area between the subdivision and freeway. But hey, that pilot may have said f-it I am outta here!
