Munson Healthcare officials say they’ve treated 33 people for contamination, and six have been hospitalized after an F-16 military jet from the Texas Air National Guard crash-landed in Grand Traverse County Thursday. The medical center said the majority of those who were treated were first responders and are in stable condition. The crash came after a pilot safely ejected from his plane and deployed his parachute during a routine training exercise near Interlochen.
