I fear for the pilot. His ELT should have immediately given his location if his chute deployed.

I was at the Willowgrove Naval Air Station when that A-10 crashed about a half mile from the airport on a residential street. The pilot rode the plane deadstick until he could line it up with the street and ejected about 100' AGL. It took out parked cars and nobody was hurt.

We have damned good pilots, amazingly committed to the public's safety over their own.
