Did the aircraft lose engines? It appears out of control in the video prior to their ejection in a spin.

RIP young lady.

Looks like he had a problem right after take off when he pitched up. Waited too long to eject.

See the full video in my #9. The critical footage was cut out of the video original posted.

Did the aircraft lose engines?

In this video at 0.37 seconds you can hear a distinct pop which, to me, sounds like a compressor stall. So yes, the engine appears to have lost thrust and may have been shut down (it is a single engine aircraft).

The flight profile, to me, looks like the pilot wanted altitude to eject, the seats are obviously not "zero-zero" so he had to get it to 1500 feet or more. The wingover at the end of the climb looks like a classic stall. The ejection sequence looks like the decision was made after the plane started down.

It only has one engine. It sounded like it had a problem just after take off (You can hear a “bang” in the video)
