Seems in remarkably good condition for an aircraft that landed "20kms short" of the runway with no-one on board.
Agree, think it was much closer and on short final. Likely a translation error or mistake in the write up.
Although rare, uncommanded ejections have occurred, or folks have found themselves in the chute after improper handing the handle (like the US navy Captain on an F-14 fam ride that grabbed the handle to adjust himself in the seat), bumping things the wrong way, improperly seated handle (recent reds) etc.
Some swear they never touched the handle....
