   Both an American helicopter and a fighter jet crashed in the South China Sea   
   on Sunday. The two incidents occurred separately, 45 minutes apart.   
       
   A Sea Hawk helicopter crashed "during routine operations from the aircraft   
   carrier USS Nimitz," the US Navy wrote on X. Shortly afterward, an American   
   fighter jet, an F/A-18F Super Hornet, also crashed. All five crew members of   
   the helicopter and the fighter jet were rescued. Details about the exact   
   location and cause are not yet known. The incidents are under investigation.   
       
   According to China, the American military presence in the South China Sea is   
   destabilizing the region. China claims the entire sea, but other countries   
   bordering the sea also claim parts of it.
