Thanks for the link, that was a great read! What a story.
Minor nit pick, the pilot did not in fact eject. He was literally thrown out of the disintegrating aircraft, ripping his shoulder and waist harnesses in the process. Insane stuff, especially that he survived.
- spanktheuser 2y agoMy dad used to know a marine fighter pilot who survived an ejection at mach 1.2. Each leg broke in four places and the soles of feet were pressed flat against his chest hard enough to break many of his ribs. But the seat worked and was certainly responsible for saving his life.
- simonswords82 2y agoI'm having a hard time imagining how the bottom of his feet were pressed against his chest?! Were his knees bent the wrong way?
- nicerob2010 2y agoI'm guessing that has to do with his legs being broken in four places
