(CNN)An F-16 fighter jet crashed Thursday into a warehouse just off March Air Reserve Base in Perris, California.

The pilot ejected before impact just off the end of the runway, Maj. Perry Covington said. The pilot was taken to a hospital to be checked out but has no major injuries, said base spokesman Reggie Varner.

Varner said the F-16 had a hydraulic failure which led to the crash. Authorities were investigating whether anyone on the ground was hurt.

The base's fire department responded to the crash along with the Riverside police and Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Mike Johnson, the CEO of the company located in the warehouse, confirmed all employees at the warehouse are safe.

"Thank God everyone is safe and OK," Johnson said in a statement to CNN. "We'll have to see what this means for the company, but right now our concern is with our employees and their families."

The warehouse is owned by See Water, Inc. The company offers products and solutions to HVAC, commercial, residential, utility and wastewater industries.

Perris is located south of San Bernardino.

I mean lower pilot quality compared to 1970s when America was strongest.

It was downed by Indian Airforce.

Proof 1:-
Mig21 was seen flying in that area(as per Indian Media). Hence proved it was downed by IAF.

Proof 2:-
Americans were making different statements. In the morning they said, its morning and in the evening they said its evening. Their statements don't match, hence proved it was downed by IAF.

Proof 3:-
Indian pilots are missing, hence proved its downed by IAF

Now IAF will add not one but 2 badges.

Yeah , you are right on this one ... in 20th century america was very strong as compared to 21st century ... well , they are strong even today but not like the past when nobody had the guts to challenge them , now even poorly equipped Taliban are openly kicking their fat @$$ and Russia and China are reducing American influence in the world too ...
