It just says they were pulled, not if they were alive or what their condition was. Any word?

The pilots are going to be put through the wringer to find out how they collided with each other.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Lol, opps, I think I'd rather go in with the plane :0)
That Farrow bloke you executed today, are you sure he's dead? Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick. Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake. No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

The pilots are going to be put through the wringer to find out how they collided with each other. Since we're at it: Are they? Any idea how it works? How forgiving is the military about these sort of thing? Planes were colliding when they were nimble and responsive crates flying at 100 mph so I'd imagine that if they send some big ass heavy and supersonic fighter jets to "dance" with each other, they would be a little indulgent perhaps? (assuming there were no SOPs being ignored) Edit: wait, I thought I read it was a ACM exercise.

When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".
