Emu Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Looks like he did not ejected to avoid nearby houses. R.I.P. S! BBC report says he did eject. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-34593948 The US Marine Corps added: "I can confirm that the pilot ejected, but I do not have additional information at this time. Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the pilot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emu Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks for the clarification. The suspicion is that he may have left the ejection too late in trying to avoid houses, leading to an out-of-parameter ejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 R.I.P. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

NeilWillis Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 You have to admire a guy that puts his own life in extreme danger to save the lives of others. If he was avoiding houses, and delayed his bid for survival, I hope he is recognised for his selfless act. Thoughts go out to his family and friends at this awful news.
