Russian-made seats in action once again:

LiveLeak.com - Iran Air Force SU-24MK Crash.

The pilot & weapon officer seem to leave their seats well before they have reached their maximum height - is there a risk they could be hit by them on the way down?

(not an expert but they seemed to leave it a tad late before deciding they were in fact crashing and that an ejection was called for)
