Thats exactly what was going through my tiny brain as I watched the (poor) tape - Appears to be a slightly left wing low attitude, then the jet departs to the right. Recovers to wings level briefly, then the ejection, with a significant rate of descent.
The description of the retired nurse at the scene wasn’t an easy read.
