Was there also

Actually the crash was caused by a fuel nozzle chafing the combustor can and started shooting fuel like a blow torch through the engine and into aircraft. Pilot ejected just before a big fire erupted. Just so happened that an Army helicoptor was about to take off from Kunsan and was sent to rescue pilot.
