Premature ejection, I believe they call it.

Maybe. I’m sure somehow it’s President Trump’s fault.

I assume the aircraft missed the Atlanta Urinal Constipation building?

I like the way they minimize this. The pilot ejected from an airplane, so the show was canceled.

The disposition of the aircraft and whatever was at the point at which it came in contact with the ground is a minor detail.
