Now now... I'm sure it went down from mechanical problems.

 

Last time there really was an incident was back in the days F-104s and MIG-19s were being used.

The F-5F isn't the newest plane in the stable, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a mechanical fault. That said, you can't discount pilot error either.
