The World : U.S. Jets Crash, Killing 2

Two U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters collided in flight near the West German border with France, killing one pilot and a German civilian who was working in his garden. The wreckage of the planes, which were on a routine training mission, fell on a two-square-mile area around the city of Zweibruecken. The flier who died was identified as Capt. Craig D. Lovelady, 29, of Glendale, Ariz.; the other pilot ejected safely. Police said the falling debris also injured a civilian, touched off a forest fire and damaged numerous buildings. About 500 residents had to be evacuated for fear that fuel and munitions might explode.
