Salute!
Typical flameout with ejection usually results in a fairly shallow descent with zero roll rate. But this one might actually BE hydraulic failure, except the approach does not as steep as I expect for a flameout.
Another video I saw today..... And the plane looks like it is starting a roll when the seat comes out. It then pitches up slightly and roll continues. The EPU only runs for a few minutes unless using bleed air, and the lack of fire could mean a no kidding fuel starvation and flameout approach.

How is he supposed to heroically avoid the schools and hospitals if he gets out so early?
Salute!
As seen time and again with this plane, it generally goes st ahead due to the FBW control laws and AoA limiter.
The guy punched on short final and chute was actually on overrun. Plane pitched up and went to starboard due to roll.
