While ejecting at 600+ kts is fatal, the whole nose broke off and started tumbling; by the time the RIO pulled the handle, they were around 200kts and they both made it OK. The pilot is a buddy of mine.
@gelistheway123 I can't help that, unfortunately. His callsign is "Waylon", but I certainly could have just made that up (though I don't know why anyone would make up anything on the internet). And yes, my callsign is "dogfood"; my name spent most of the time on aircraft 411.
@ckarling Wow, you seem kind of angry. In regards to your comment, "high speed" means different things at different conditions. With the air density at that altitude and better than Mach 1, there is no recorded survival of an ejecting crew member. The SR-71 guys may have ejected at higher Mach numbers (one rumored at Mach 3), but the actual air forces at the altitudes make it much more survivable (obviously).
@dogfood411 Not angry at all. Yes, I am a commercial pilot. Have been since I was 20. I am well aware air pressure changes with altitude, You on the other hand are still full of shit. Don't you feel like wrong about yourself when you do not do any research before spouting off?
@mordinvan That's a good question. I never actually asked, just assuming that with the F-14 being so old and with so many moving parts, that one of the lines carrying fuel or hydraulics leaked fluid which caught on fire, resulting in structural integrity issues that became catastrophic. But that's just a guess.
instant death , i don't think the sensors could act so fast and auto-eject the pilot nor that he was aware he was going to blow up to dust in future milliseconds.. tragedy
A little info for the curious: This was one of a series of flybys done primarily for training of fleet defence crews and radar operators. The explosion is due to a catastrophic engine failure following a shut down of an engine lubricant pump. This info comes from a report on a site offering numerous mil. aviation videos.
did i just hear someone say .. he cant swim ?

Do they brake the sound barrer at 0:17? or is that just the horrible camera

I just read that it was an engine stall that caused the accident. Either way both pilots survived.

@dogfood411 It is not automatically fatal. Tell that to all the SR-71 pilots that survived High speed ejections. Don't pull things out of your ass.

Mind if I ask, what the fuck happened to cause the plane to break up like that?
