I watched this yesterday.

It looks like after a hard bounce landing something happened to the drive train feeding power to the forward lift fan, which caused a loss of lift from that fan and subsequent nose first second landing.

Interesting that the pilot had the presence of mind to wait until the aircraft leveled out after doing its little spin on the ground to punch out.

Looking at the aftermath, he probably didn’t need to punch out at all, but hindsight and all...
