Video shows fighter pilot’s last-minute escape
Dramatic video has emerged of a crash that destroyed an RAF Harrier jet in Kandahar last year.
The jet’s unnamed pilot escaped with only minor injuries after he ejected from his flaming aircraft as it careened across the runway of the Afghan base in May of 2009.
The video, which emerged on the Internet this week, shows the pilot waiting a full 13 seconds to eject after his plane rammed into the ground in a crash landing.
