of the 6 crew on the plane, 3 survived. (Two of the dead didn’t have ejection seats.)

Really? Didn't have ejection seats or weren't strapped into them?

The plane apparently has 4 ejection seats. Two of the six were apparently in jump seats.

But, given the limited number of crashes and use of ejection seats, one has to wonder if it is even cost effective to have them in planes of that class. I do see their use in fighters, particularly carrier based.
