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've listened to his 11-minute interview several times. He speaks
as if he didn't have to do anything to get out of the plane.
Once he released his seat belts, he seems to have been thrown out
without any effort on his part.

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


Well, if he was flung out of the airplane, it's accurate.
