    Looks to me like something took over the controls.

    • I am confident that the pilot saw that the jet started losing power so thrust the nose up to try to get enough altitude to eject but also had to try to guide the plane away from houses. It simply lost all power and headed straight down but unfortunately twisted enough to make the ejecting difficult and still not high enough for the chute to open. It looked like only one person was able to eject: it was the pilot. The female navigator/copilot was lost in the crash.

      • That’s plausible. I’m only commenting on the info from the vid. I have no idea about these things. But when I saw it I thought if after flying for a bit the plane starts climbing and they realise that they have no control but they can’t eject bc the plane is upside down. then it starts a rapid descent and one of the pilots tries ejecting but it’s too late. I guess we don’t know yet.
