Two pilots booked for accidental jet bombing

Two pilots of South Korean Air Force were booked on charges of resulting in injury due to professional negligence following an accidental fighter jet bombing of civilian area in Pocheon, South Korea.

The day before the accidental bombing of a civilian village, the pilots incorrectly entered target coordinates in a mission computer. The Air Force said it is a basic protocol to adjust the target altitude at the input stage by taking into consideration the speed and trajectory of bombs to maximize the effectiveness of strikes. 

Air Force authorities added that further investigation is needed to find out why the pilots failed to check the coordinates despite the large difference in altitudes.
