Από το πρώτο ψάξιμο βρήκα την ανάλυση του συγκεκριμένου....

Οι πιλότοι ήταν νέοι αλλά το landing hook έσπασε και είχαν ήδη δώσει full power όπως πρέπει.
Out and Up
When the command comes over the radio to eject, you donʼt question it. Your knowledge in the cockpit isnʼt complete — maybe there is a fire you donʼt know about, or a piece of the plane maybe fell off or maybe thereʼs something else terribly wrong. You canʼt tell and in the one or two seconds that separate you from life and death, there isnʼt a lot of time to ask questions. Training takes over and you pull your legs in, grab the handles and pull. Ejecting is dangerous, but it is better than dying in a stricken airplane when it crashes.
Μεταφράζω:
"Οταν η διαταγή για eject έλθει μέσα από τον ασύρματο, δεν την αμφισβητείς.....
Όπως και στην εκπαίδευση, κάνεις αυτό που σου μάθανε...."
Αfter the fact, hundreds of armchair observers have questioned the flight crewʼs decision to eject from what looks like a perfectly flyable plane, at least based on the video. Theyʼre wrong to do so, in fact. The order was clear — whether it was the Air Boss or the LSO who called it out was immaterial and there was no time to ask questions. The words, “Eject! Eject! Eject!” had been called over the radio — in that context, they become an order from a superior officer to follow or face the consequences. In that context, the consequences were quite possibly fatal. Thus, for the two men, it was simply a matter of training and discipline to eject from the airplane.
The End of the Intruder
Pilotless, the A-6E Intruder, however, had no intention of landing. Suddenly freed of more than 800 pounds of equipment and perhaps another 400 or 500 pounds of combined pilots and uniform equipment, the CG had shifted aft. With a suddenly lighter weight, likewise the stall speed in the airplane was instantly lowered. What before had been a certain crash, now turned into a steady and ever increasingly steepening climb out. Unmanned, the Intruder dangerously soared up and away from the deck.
Aftermath
A later evaluation of the mishap by the US Navy determined that had the flight crew not ejected, the plane would have crashed into the water one or two seconds later anyway. Hitting the water at over 100 knots of speed would have likely been a very bad experience, injuring if not killing the crew outright. Only when relieved of more than 1,200 pounds of weight was the plane again flyable, though even that was a kind of an aerodynamic coincidence that the weight, balance, configuration, trim settings, etc., all added up to a plane that would fly itself.
LTJG Robert Rabuse went on to a full career in the Navy, commanding an S-3 squadron and later becoming an attorney and judge with the rank of a Captain.
H περίληψη : Σωστά κάνανε οι πιλότοι. Το αεροπλάνο θα έπεφτε στη θάλασσα αν δεν έφευγαν.
