That reminded me of the Haji in Iraq loading a Mortor tube and it blew up.

At least they did not end up with a “drinking” problem.

Ok wouldn’t it be delicious if Mossad could find a way to insert a rumor that they had installed a virus into the flight software and waited until this AC was in the bunker to activate it - just to demonstrate the inverted pancakes for all to see?

F4’s are famous for that. You must inspect those safety pins....

Incidents like this are not unheard of around the flight community in all countries.
Forget a safing pin and snag a handle when moving around the cockpit will do it. In two seaters, there is an automatic ejection sequencer usually. When one goes they both go.
Someone's last words were "awww $#!t" in farsi.

Could be an ancient f14. Two pilots after all.

Can you imagine giving your life over to the mullahs and the ayatollahs as perhaps an ok jet jockey, and in the prime of your existence on this planet, have their incompetent foolishness cost you your
life, as the last thing that goes through your mudslime mind is your mudslime asshole?
Schadenfreude.

Most jets will eject both when one pulls a handle.

First solo flight for a new pilot in Moosejaw, Sask. The pilot is on the runway waiting to go, and his cord for his radio was through the ejector handle, he adjusts his helmet etc some more and next thing he knows, he’s floating back down under a canopy.
He’s lucky it was a 0/0 ejection system. The snowbird planes (Tutors) need to be 0/60. Zero altitude but forward speed of 60 knots.
