  • The US Marine Corps lost an F-35 jet in September after the pilot accidentally ejected midflight.
  • Newly released audio reveals that to find the jet, the US Marine Corps called 911.
  • 911 was little help though since they also didn't know how to find the jet, according to the audio.

The US Marine Corps found themselves in an unusual emergency in September: They had lost an F-35 fighter jet somewhere over South Carolina. And what does one do in an emergency? Call 911.

That's exactly why they did, according to newly released audio recordings.
