    Nothing projects U.S. global air and sea power more vividly than supercarriers. Bristling with fighter jets that can reach deep into even landlocked trouble zones, America’s virtually invincible carrier fleet has long enforced its dominance of the high seas.

    China may soon put an end to that.

    U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China – an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles)

    WSYX-TV is reporting tonight that 23-year-old Keith Homestead Jr., who died as a result of the crash, was an Airman home on leave.

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- State Route 13 at Murray Road, just south of Mt. Vernon in Knox County, remained closed about 4 p.m. Wednesday after a fatal crash.

    Traffic was backed up for miles along S.R. 13 after two vehicles -- a blue-colored Honda Accord and a GMC Yukon -- crashed. ABC6/FOX28 News’ Chelby Kosto reports that the Accord driver was trying to make a pass on a two-lane road when it collided head-on with the Yukon.

    The Honda’s driver -- 18-year-old Megan Peterson -- suffered life-threatening injuries and was flown via MedFlight to a Columbus hospital. The passenger in the Honda -- 23-year-old Keith Homestead Jr. -- died as a result of the crash.

    Ryan Chogmartin, 28, who was in the Yukon, was listed in critical condition at a Know County hospital.
