WAS
THE PILOT EJECTED

In as much as the driver of a car can be thrown out of a rolling wrecked
car, and be reported as ejected, the same musta' happened for this pilot,
but obviously without an ejection seat.


So, from our point of view, it is an inaccurate description, but it would be
totally accurate to the majority of the public.


Richard's suggested change to the text (from "ejected" to "was ejected")
fits LD's description of what happened perfectly and matches your
analysis.


I'd expect it from a typical media source, but the "PILOT WAS EJECTED" quote was
from the FAA accident report. Figured those guys would know better....
