Pursuit onto NAS Lemoore Ends When Jeep Crashes Into F-18 Super Hornet

[@RealWorldPolice]

UPDATE: I am pleased to provide you with a copy of NAS Lemoore's thorough written response to (and evaluation of) the Navy's investigation into the breach of security seen in this video. Although the document is heavily redacted, the redacted portions primarily contain details regarding base security operations. A significant portion of the 48-page document is a detailed chronology of events and that section - largely not redacted - contains more information than you will find anywhere else. The document can be found at www.tiny.cc/nasl.

[@DLDietz]

Thank you for providing the Investigation Report. I think what I learned from this is two things; 1) The base is isolated from their surroundings and don't monitor their community. For example, if a terrorist bomber is stopped off base but heading towards the base - their ignorance is bliss and they don't care. 2) They don't know the meaning of "Lock Down." I was shocked to read that the guard post (including 3) continued to let people in. The F-18's touch & goes should have been diverted and ALL runways shut down. Table - Talks are fun, done in the daytime when everyone has time to think about their actions. It might be a good idea to have Inspector Generals test all bases for their responses in actual acted out scenarios such as this one. The building I'm in have occasional test where an unauthorized person tries to see how far they can gain access. Trouble never calls in advance.

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

I read the whole document, except for the redacted portions not made public. It was a complete “Whitewash” and a refusal to acknowledge the Navy’s responsibility to actually secure the air base or to provide or establish accurate communications channels with civilian police and other emergency agencies. The Navy talked to no civilians to determine any facts about this situation and made no effort to find out from the CHP or other civilian emergency agencies how and when Navy emergency telephone numbers were initially provided to them, when updated and when verified. After failing to conduct a thorough investigation, the final report appears to blame the CHP for not knowing that the Navy building, to which the phone number in the CHP’s file was associated, had been physically destroyed ten years prior to the base intrusion, and had long been out of service. In the public portion of the report there was absolutely no investigation into Navy personnel or NASL records as to how, when and to whom accurate Navy emergency contact telephone numbers had been provided initially or through periodic updates. The most glaring error, or intentional omission by those responsible for the Report, is the failure of the Report to specifically identify the exact location of the precise entry point onto the operational part of the base by the intruders(referred to as the “JGC” in the report for Jeep Grand Cherokee). The report recites regulations and procedures about Controlled Entry Points, the construction standards for them and so forth, and the awareness by base officers and personnel of these standards, and the importance of inspecting them several times yearly and verifying their effectiveness. Not a word that I read says anything about the actual entry point to the base, or air station, that was used by the JGC and how that was accomplished, when it had last been inspected, or why NASL Security forces had no idea the base had been breached until after the CHP helicopter had landed. No question was asked about why the fighter aircraft were totally unguarded. The road along the perimeter fence appeared to terminate in only one place, at an unmanned entry point to parking places and taxi ways for the fighter aircraft. In spite of this, guards at manned gates thought it was not unusual for motorists to drive down that road terminating at the base’s unmanned rear entrance and notified no one in charge, even after seeing the CHP vehicles in the area, with lights flashing. The gate guards even let a CHP pursuit vehicle onto the base to continue the pursuit, but apparently either notified no one, or those who were notified did not notify the officer in charge or any responsible in base security or at the CHP. One person with watch responsibility was at home asleep. In short, no one at NASL was found to be at fault in any way, and any blame was the responsibility of the CHP for not knowing how to contact base security at NASL and not giving the base enough notice that an intrusion was possible. Looks like the officers signing off on the Navy report never saw this video from the CHP helicopter.

[@beepIL]

This is exactly what happens with security in low risk areas, people who never see any action and never expect anything to happen, almost as if their role in security is there as a rubber stamp rather than a practical reason. Over time people who do this role in such scenarios become so apathetic to the whole concept of security that you end up with what you just saw, a guy driving a jeep into a fighter jet, and not a single security person in sight to stop him. If it were to happen on some airfield in a Iraq for example, during the war, that guy would've been shot way before he got past the outer perimeter

[@papa_xan]

Regardless of when it happened, or what time of the day or night, there is no excuse for letting a vehicle, not only onto the base, but also allowing it to drive unchallenged around the tarmac where more than a dozen aircraft are parked. Plus they knew the situation, the police chopper was in contact with the base before the breach occurred. The breakdown of security is indefensible for a military installation.

[@papa_xan]

Hmm, how about base security, that would be a good place to start I think. They could have challenged the vehicle and fired upon it if it failed to yield. Nobody should be able to just crash through a fence with absolutely no security presence at all until after the vehicle drove around for some minutes, past dozens of F/A-18's, crashed into one, then pulled off between the runway and taxiway and fell out of the vehicle on their own. Even then, it was several minutes until the police chopper landed and the pilots were on scene with the suspect in custody before the M.P.'s even showed up. Also, like I said before, the base was aware of the situation just outside their perimeter and couldn't mobilize some security in all that time??

[@LottiDotti76]

This was an epic failure and an embarrassment to all military LEOs! I am a retired Air Force LEO. What should have happened is to allow CHP & SO units on base and have base PD follow as back up. Tower should have put the F-18 into a high hold pattern pending the resolution of the incident. The only reason it should land is if it must declare an IFE due to low fuel. It killed me when the tower said he might shut down (close) for the night before the situation was resolved. Base PD was nowhere to be found for 10 min or more. Wow! I am not sure what Navy/Marine protocol is, but had this been on an AF base, base PD would have been right there. And since we don't leave aircraft without some response force dedicated they would have never made it that close to the planes. In our use of force model deadly force is authorized to protect resources vital to national security. There was no reason to say CHP & SO couldn't come on base and continue the pursuit. Of course their jurisdiction ends as soon as they enter federal property, but that is irrelevant considering the pursuit was initiated off base. The same would be if we chased someone off base and local units followed us up. I can see keeping them off the flightline and runways, but not the base. This was an epic fail on so many levels. I could pick this apart for days!

[@yippie21]

I'm retired ATC, and from that angle, that was pathetic. No way should that F18 be doing touch and goes with that so close to the runway.

Obviously this should have never happened and they NEVER should have made it to the airfield. When I was in the Navy I was stationed at NAS Lemoore and I always though security was lacking, guess I never knew how bad it was until this happened.

[@McGuire2778]

Man security at NAS Lemoore has gotten lax sense I was stationed there. No way he would have rolled uncontested that long when I was security there. Of course that was the first two years following 911. So just a little insight. NAS lemoore is surrounded busy farms. The fence line only sorounds about 25% of the base. Most of that 25% is secure high security areas (like they weapons area) and the housing/barracks area 7 miles SE of the runways. It is not by any means the most secure place. But it is in the middle of flat farmlands and threats can be seen for miles on approach. Obviously there were some small amount of flight ops going on sense a Jet was in the pattern and did a touch and go. This means the ATC tower was manned. There was a obvious communication problem between local authorities and base security. I don’t know why they weren’t able to communicate. Needless to say I bet the higher ups there are getting raked over the coals for allowing that incursion to go as far as it did. I know all those roads too well and there is no way he shouldn’t have been stopped out there along the side of the runway before he ever got around the end of it. Let alone all the way up to the hangers, taxiway and aircraft.

[@yro277]

Hotwheelz_McG Someone above gave some context to that. They had been trying to contact through the number they were given (they did what they could with all the info they had), which was correct except for the building and stuff that number was for had been demolished 10 years prior. With that said, it’s an issue with administration there if they just couldn’t be bothered to get their information updated, imho. On the other hand, whether or not the officers had the opportunity to stop the vehicle before it got into the base itself could be something for them to look into, though figuring that out would be a bit difficult considering all the factors that come into play with those situations (when’d they get involved in the chase, where did it start, how close were any of them at any given point, what was known or unknown to the officers, etc... and that’s not including traffic conditions and such). Overall, it’s a mess that better get some attention and will hopefully help prevent much more dangerous incidents from happening in the future. Also, thanks for your service.

I did some digging and found some records on this incident. It explains a lot. It looked like inaction, but missed the genius move by base security. They did respond, but with the knowledge and experience that only comes from years on the job and a practical knowledge of P&C Insurance. They held back and made it appear that they couldn’t be reached and had no one to respond. The plan from the beginning was to conserve Human Resources and avoid ammunition expenditures by letting the perps drive around in the dark until they ran into the deadly stealth painted tail of the killer jet. They have zero deductible comp policy and since it was parked, unoccupied, it’s comp, not collision. It’s fully covered and won’t go against the owners experience rating. #GoNavy

The passenger was killed on impact with the jet and the driver was mortally wounded and died in the hospital.

The driver ended up dying there too

[@xaviercortez5714]

Due to the angle of the rear stabilizer, slightly offset from horizontal, this sliced through the passenger windshield beam and the through the passenger, followed by the passenger seat and so on. The stabilizer length was such that it reached the driver and partially cut through him, of which he would later die from. Somewhere across the web are post accident pictures of the jeep and the damage of running into the jet’s stabilizer. From afar one wouldn’t know that the jeep is sliced down the passenger side. Up close the slice is only inches thick as the speed of the jeep allowed the thinness of the stabilizer to act as a large cutting blade. OUCH! Fortunately, and mostly because it was dark, the passenger didn’t see or know this to be coming, although he probably suffered a bit before bleeding out. Painful. Military tarmacs are not lit up at night so the best outcome was probably the one that played out, property damage being minimal with the perps succumbing to their death, however eventual.

[@Michael_W007]

At Nellis AFB, they shoot and ask questions later. There are signs everywhere stating deadly force will be used if you even stray off designated walk paths.

[@owenbock5883]

this base would have had the same signs.

[@walamo4796]

I wonder what determines the level of security. There is an AFB in Ga called Robins AFB where they recently killed 3 people who tried to drive through the gates

[@paulbenes04]

Since it's close to area 51, seems legit.

[@MaxZomboni]

Signs like that are really nothing more than an acknowledgment that there is no security, and they hope the signs themselves will scare people from crossing the line. Kind of like those signs "$5,000 fine for littering". When has anybody ever gotten a $5,000 fine for littering? The sign is just there to try to scare people not to do it.

Just like McDonald's, it all depends on the location. Looks like the security at this base were all sleeping!

Damn best video I have ever seen. I never thought I would ever see a video like this. Awesome

[@fabianespinozaiii6058]

Didn't think this footage would be released. How there are no warning systems if unauthorized objects breach perimeters on an active military airfield escapes me. I live relatively close to the base and always wondered how easy it would be to get onto it through the fields.

Where the hell was base security?!! A 30 million dollar aircraft damaged because base security couldn't respond in under 20 minutes? Unfreakinbelievable!! There should be mass charges placed for this gaping security lapse and the head of security fired or busted down to E1. Just imagine what's going through domestic terrorist heads right now.

[@1014p]

2 Terrible Toads well if this was a terrorist he could have destroyed all the jets with planted bombs, destroyed part of the gate to let others in, and gotten a Starbucks which is next to this air strip. Then his buddies could destroy the hangers.

[@GaryCameron]

Just imagine what an enemy could do to those 30 parked planes and one stolen truck.

[@TheKman48]

I was stationed there in the early 70's with a RAG outfit. Base security was just as effective then, as now. Back then Marines manned the gates and what passed for perimeter security.

[@jaycal1920]

"be advised there is an F-18 in the air" "Roger, what is his payload, we might need a couple AGM-65s on standby." "Copy, target in sight" "Rifle"

[@andrewt.5567]

Same result in the end, would have been far cheaper, and a great field exercise for the pilot.
