What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on the pilots ejecting moments before the RAF jet crashed, and BBC News and Channel 4 News both foreground the ejection itself. The Guardian US is the only outlet in these extracts to add that the aircraft was on a training flight and to mention an eyewitness saying it was “basically on fire” on takeoff. BBC News also ran a separate scene-setting post from Anglesey, which none of the others matched.
