Playing the Beegees hit "Stayin' Alive" on the Tannoy was somewhat prescient.

One wonders what the pilot's gameplan was for the contingency of an engine failure during this high alpha low/slow pass? Swear-Stall-Spin-Eject-Swear some more when you remember that you forgot to put your head back into the headrest before pulling the seat pan handle.

He was simply lucky that the wind direction was such that it did not drag him across the ground into the flames before he jettisoned his parachute.
