The idea of ejecting out of an aircraft isn’t a pretty one for many reasons. In non-combat situations the thought of losing the aircraft and where the aircraft will end up has caused many pilots to delay the decision to eject until it was too late.

I know if it were me up there I wouldn’t want to walk away after killing a hundred people. Despite the judgment error that cause the situation, this pilot did an excellent job of ensuring the aircraft wouldn’t harm those on the ground.
