The investigation continued Monday morning into how a military plane made a crash landing into a Lake Worth neighborhood on Sunday — right into people’s homes.

The naval jet from Corpus Christi was taking part in a training exercise when it crashed — just off of Tejas Trail in Lake Worth. Police say it’s the first such crash ever seen in the city.

Lake Worth Police Chief JT Manoushagian now says in all, two houses were damaged. That number revised down from three earlier. The families who lived there were quickly rushed out and were uninjured. The two pilots — a student and his instructor — were able to eject from the cockpit. Both remained hospitalized Monday.
