The video below showing a PLAAF JH-7 fighter bomber crashing has been making the Internet rounds today. The jet apparently went down during an airshow near the town of Xi'an, and as you can see, only one of the pilots made ejected from the plane before it hit the ground.

The JH-7 is a Mach. 1 fighter bomber that entered service with the PLAAF and the Chinese Navy in 2004.
