(CNN) -- A military jet crashed into a residential neighborhood in San Diego, California, on Monday as it tried to land at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, killing two people in a home, authorities said.

Both victims were in one of two houses destroyed by the crash and ensuing fire, and two others believed to be in that house were missing, officials said.

The pilot of the F/A-18 Hornet ejected safely and was taken to a hospital, the Marine Corps said in a news release. The pilot, whose name was not released, was the only occupant of the two-seat aircraft, the Marine Corps said.

At a news conference in the University City community where the crash occurred, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said it was believed that four people -- "possibly a grandmother, a mother and two children" -- were in the destroyed house where firefighters found two bodies

Wow, Flashback to long ago when PSA crashed in a neighborhood fairly near to me when I lived in SD.

Wow, Flashback to long ago when PSA crashed in a neighborhood fairly near to me when I lived in SD.

I remember that crash. I was stationed aboard USS Halsey (CG23) at the time in San Diego and could see the column of smoke of the crash from where we were docked at the 32nd Naval Station.
