Surely a mysterious accident. RIP to the deceased.
There is nothing 'mysterious' about it. We don't know all of the facts yet. We do know a lot about aviation accidents generally and specifically ejection seat equipped training aircraft accidents. As many posters have said, it is ill-advised to speculate publicly. Wishing that on a public internet forum is as futile an exercise as it gets. The reason you don't 'understand why' is precisely because we are not in possession of all the facts. Your comparison with the USMC C-130 accident and the implication that the pilots might have 'rode it to the ground and then hit a house' betrays an ignorance of aviation matters. You are free to speculate as you wish, this is a public forum, however please understand that idle commentary on cause and reasons may be ignored and categorised as irritating.
