A Belgian mechanic destroyed a multi-million dollar fighter jet after he accidentally fired a Vulcan cannon while carrying out repairs at an air force base.
The $30 million plane quickly caught fire and exploded, according to Belgian broadcaster RTL.
The mechanic was working with a colleague on two F-16s in a hangar near the control tower.
It is understood that the third jet, which they inadvertently destroyed after firing the cannon, was just out of their line of sight.
