  "account": "Four U.S. service members sustained injuries in an incident aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off the coast of Virginia on Monday evening, according to the U.S. Navy. The mishap occurred during aircraft recovery operations around 6:18 p.m. EDT. Two aviators ejected from their aircraft and were promptly rescued by search-and-rescue personnel. The Navy did not specify the type of aircraft involved, but the injured personnel were part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3. In addition to the two ejected aviators, four others aboard the Eisenhower were also injured and received medical attention. One service member was taken to a hospital near Norfolk, Virginia, for treatment, though their injuries are not considered life-threatening. The term \"mishap\" is used by the U.S. military to describe situations involving personnel injuries, fatalities, or property damage. This incident is under investigation and will be updated as more information becomes available.",
