Thanks for posting this. I had been thinking about this event the other day but had not had a chance to do a Google search yet.

The video of the crash, was taken by U.S.A.F. Major William E. Blue (since retired), an Air Force navigator, who soon sold the event's footage to C.B.S.

While it appeared to me [from my memory of] the video, that the navigator ejected from the aircraft, somewhere on the Internet yesterday, I read that it was the Squadron Commander who had been in the co-pilot's seat, trying to get out of harm's way.

Unfortunately, his path was still in the way of the descending aircraft.

Major Kern's report does not mention the ejection attempt.
