U.S. Plane Crashes in Libya

The U.S. has had its first close call in Libya: A U.S. plane crashed in Libya Tuesday after an apparent mechanical failure. Fortunately, both pilots of the F-15E fighter jet were rescued by Libyan rebels, and U.S. military officials say the men have both left Libya and are in good condition, with only minor injuries. One of the pilots was rescued using the Osprey, an unusual Marine Corps aircraft. The Daily Beast's Babak Dehghanpisheh reports from Libya with exclusive details.
