A U.S. Navy electronic-warfare aircraft crashed into San Diego Bay near Naval Air Station North Island on Wednesday, sending two service members to the hospital.
The Navy confirmed there were two pilots onboard the Boeing EA-18G Growler, and both were rescued.
San Diego Fire Department officials confirmed the crash was reported near Shelter Island just after 10:16 a.m. local time.

The Coast Guard San Diego Office confirmed to Fox News that the pilots were rescued by a fishing vessel. They were then transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Air and Marine Operations.
The fishing company, H&M Landing, provided a statement to Fox News Digital claiming the aircraft experienced a “mechanical failure.”
“At approximately 10:15, the two pilots ejected from their aircraft after experiencing a mechanical failure,” according to the statement. “Moments later, the aircraft crashed into the bay. The Premier, which was in the immediate vicinity, swiftly responded to the emergency.”

The company said after seeing the pilots eject, the crew sped toward the pilots, before they even hit the water.
The fishing boat safely recovered the aviators and provided immediate assistance, according to H&M Landing.
“We are relieved and grateful to have had one of our vessels in the right place at the right time,” said Frank Ursitti, H&M Landing general manager. “Captain Brandon Viets and the crew of the Premier acted swiftly, and thanks to their professionalism, were able to bring these pilots to safety.”
The pilots were in the water for about a minute, the Coast Guard said.

Fire officials sent 60 personnel to the scene, including two fire trucks, a foam truck, five engines, a helicopter, two boats and a lifeguard river team.
Both pilots were taken to a local hospital and were said to be in stable condition, according to the Coast Guard.
A Navy official told Fox News Digital it is unclear if a distress signal was sent out prior to the crash, and the pilots have not yet been identified.
The wreckage remains in the water, the Coast Guard said.

H&M Landing said it is fully cooperating with the Navy and local authorities as they work to determine the cause of the crash.
According to Boeing, the EA-18G Growler is an advanced airborne electronic attack aircraft. It provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world.
The fighter jet is estimated to cost $67 million, according to the Navy.
The wreck comes after a recent string of fatal plane crashes across the country.

Former South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at 38 years old
A former college football star is now fighting cancer at 38 years old.
Stephen Garcia, a quarterback for four years at South Carolina, revealed on social media Wednesday that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
A GoFundMe page, organized by his wife Maria that has already garnered nearly $100K in donations, said that after a trip to the emergency room and multiple imaging tests, Garcia was diagnosed with cancer and was set to begin chemotherapy. He is now on an “aggressive” track, and “he will be meeting with specialized liver and colon surgeons to determine the next steps in his treatment plan.”
Garcia took to Facebook to share the GoFundMe link and said he is confident he will be able to overcome the diagnosis.
“Wasn’t overly excited to share this news but it is what it is. We have a great team of doctors and staff that’s confident we can beat this! It’s the only option,” he wrote. “If there’s one lesson to be learned, get checked and don’t be afraid to visit the doctors office when you don’t feel 100%.”
He later thanked everyone for their support on his Instagram story.
Garcia had a prolific career with the Gamecocks, throwing for 7,597 yards and 49 touchdowns. In 2009, as a sophomore, he led the SEC with 239 completions before throwing a career-high 3,059 yards with 20 touchdowns during the next campaign, as South Carolina finished at No. 22 in the final poll of the season.
His 20 wins rank tied for third-most in program history. Garcia later spent time in the CFL, AFL and AAF after his college football days.
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer said he is “praying” for the former QB.
“I talked to Stephen about an hour ago, actually, and he was in great spirits,” Beamer said Wednesday in Columbia, according to The State. “Then texting back and forth since we talked on the phone about an hour ago and told him to attack this thing with the same mindset that he’s attacked everything going back to when he was a player here and still is now as a human being.
“Told him I got his back, and we all have his back. Just praying hard for him right now.”

PORTLAND (WGME) – A Portland woman who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.
That’s according to Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who traveled to the facility this week to demand that ICE release 19-year-old Olivia Andre.
Pingree says a federal district court judge ordered Andre to be released no later than Friday.
Andre and her family were arrested by ICE when they were seeking asylum in Canada.
DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn’t.
Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre’s lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
“Olivia and her family should never have been detained. The federal court ordered her release because the Trump administration had no lawful basis for detaining her,” Pingree said. “She suffered in detention for six months in violation of federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s protections.”
