Japanese Jet Fighter Crashes: Video footage show pilots escape

Two Japanese pilots have escaped with only minor injuries as their jet fighter has crashed while on a test flight. The Mitsubishi F-2B was undergoing one last test before the Japanese air force took delivery of this fighter plane, when we can clearly see on this video footage that while taking off we can see that the jet dipped suddenly and then skidding along the runway and burst into flames.

Thankfully we can see the two pilots safely running from the burning wreckage with only a few minor injuries. Mitsubishi are now investigating the incident but what they know at the moment is that the pilot aborted the take-off, it is not known for what reason though.
