The F/A-22 is unstable in pitch. The plane must have lost the fly-by-wire control on take-off and bellied in. Pilot ejected safely. He had no other option, you can't correct fast enough to fly it if the flight computer goes out.

I remember seeing something like that in the Fa-22 documentary. I think it was one of the first two prototypes where he was trying to land it and the software interpreted the pilot's input wrong and the plane was all over the place. He landed it but I think it was more of a controlled crash.

I remember that and the Paris airshow where the Scarebus landed in the trees whenever I board a scarebus.
