Nice to see the autopilot avoided the school, hospital, retirement home, shopping mall, and all other populated areas after the human pilots ejected.

all of a sudden the canopy came off and the two guys ejected out and the plane kept going north," he said.

"Plane ended up turning around on its own with nobody left in it.. came back.. went down south and went nose down right at the end of the runway."

Does the plane have some sort of safety device?

"Something to get it to come back because it was weird to watch it turn all the way around and come back, but if it does, it's a good thing because it was headed for residential neighborhoods," added Hall.
