RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- It's been more than two weeks since an F-16 jet crashed into a warehouse in Riverside County.

Friday night, crews detached the wings, then pulled the fuselage out of the building before placing it on a flatbed truck to be taken to nearby March Air Reserve Base.

The weapons on board had already been removed and destroyed shortly after the crash.

Raw video shows an ordnance detonation at Ben Clark Public Safety Training Center in Riverside on Friday.

The pilot had to eject from the plane. Remarkably, no one was seriously hurt.
