Pilot seen on the ground after multiple US planes crash in Kuwait

Videos geolocated by CNN to be near Ali Al Salem Air Base, which hosts US forces, appear to show a fighter jet pilot on the ground in Kuwait after ejecting from an aircraft. In one of the videos, a man in a full flight suit and helmet can be seen kneeling on the ground next to an orange and white parachute and a parachute cord in a desert area near a fence line. In another video, the pilot is seen standing up as bystanders look on, with thick black smoke billowing in the distant background.
