If you're talking about the first F-14 crash, hydraulics failure, on approach to Calverton
they both came out with only minor injuries...
as for this one, i'm sure he punched out at the last minute, sure can try getting away from houses, but there's no reason why he shouldn't punch out if there's nothing else he can do to improve the situation...
