@Free_Press I don't see parachutes in the video. Any news about the crew?
@ff0rt @Free_Press I didn't see any parachutes either. The plane was in a flat spin so the pilot(s) needed to eject immediately. If they didn't the centrifugal force of the spin can make it impossible to eject.
@shuttersparks @Free_Press Right, only hope there were ejection seats.
@ff0rt @Free_Press Well, there is that too. I can't imagine they don't have ejection seats. Pilots are valuable. Training a pilot is a very expensive thing. By the time you become a fighter pilot, the military has millions invested in you.
