US Navy – A US Navy EP-3 signals intelligence aircraft that was on a reconnaisance mission in international waters has collided with a Chinese air force fighter and was forced to land in China on Hainan island. The US is demanding release of the crew and the aircraft. The destroyers USS Hewitt, Fitzgerald and Higgins are standing by. None of the US crew members are reported to be injured, the Chinese pilot is missing. The incident bears a resemblance of the USS Pueblo incident from 1968???
