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.
