were unable to bet into the apartments quickly to search for the injured. crews rushed several people outside the buildings to the hospital. none with life-threatening injuries. navy investigators declined to speculate on what might have caused the crash but with scores of navy jets flying almost constantly over heavily populated virginia beach, the mayor says this has long been one of his worst nightmares. >> i prayed every day that it doesn't happen, but it has. >> reporter: rescuers say the real miracle here, no one was killed. and doctors have actually released several patients from the hospital. one of the naval aviators is listed in fair condition, the other in good condition. bruce leshan, 9news now. an update now on the howard university athletics program. the student athletes who were declared ineligible to compete have now been reinstated. last friday the university announced it was going to

temporarily withhold the number of student athletes from competition as a self-imposed action, part of an internal investigation of possible ncaa rules violation. as a result of today's decision all spring sports teams will compete as scheduled for the rest of the season. despite today's news howard's internal probe continues. despite a maryland attorney general's opinion that says you do have the right to record police doing their jobs in public, we've got some new evidence tonight that some officers have not yet gotten that message. 9news now has uncovered an encounter with prince george's county police in college park. it happened yesterday when an officer claimed that police rights were being violated by a woman with an iphone. scott broom investigates in a story you will see only on 9. >> my neighbor's house was surrounded by police so i walked out in the street to record what was happening. >> reporter: kim is a retired journal whist took to the street in front of her college park house yesterday. >> yeah, they came with guns drawn.

highest court is hearing arguments over whether or not the couple can legally split in maryland. >> i'm a homeowner in maryland, i live in maryland, i pay taxes in maryland, i work in maryland. i have every right to get a divorce in a timely manner like every other couple. >> lawyers for the woman say maryland should recognize gay marriages performed elsewhere even though it doesn't currently allow same-sex weddings. of course, that may well change come 2013 as maryland recently passed a bill legalizing gay marriage. did you know in that d.c. you can get your license revoked for driving just 13 miles over the speed limit? a d.c. woman was caught in virginia going 83 in a 70 miles per hour zone, and she was charged with reckless driving. now she's just four days away from losing her d.c. driver's license. >> i'm kristen fisher in washington where a woman is just four days away from losing her driver's license after she was caught going 83 in a 70 on i-95 in virginia, just 13 miles over the speed limit. there was no at, there was no
