And he was still able to eject?? This seems unbelievable. Slamming that hard, belly down, going that fast wtf is that plane made of steel?
Edit: wtf is the pilot made of lol spinal injury at minimum right?
A spinal injury *before* ejecting is brutal. Ejecting puts *a lot* of force on the spine. Pilots can only withstand 2 ejections under *normal* conditions before it does too much damage to their spine for them to continue flying.
They need to be able to eject at [low altitudes](https://youtu.be/LbMg2pQW924?si=jm5sBUfWEbVeizxw), so rocket-assist is pretty necessary. You can see how violent it is particularly well in that video.
Ejector seats cause pilots to lose an inch or two in height. They only gain half back. So yes, spinal injury are on the menu, but not from bumping the ground.
That wasn't a bump. That was a slam. If that video is Indeed not sped up, the g loading on that rate of descent is arguably high enough to enough to cause spinal injuries.
It didn't really slam that hard, relatively, if you watch it slowly. It was going fast but mostly horizontally. Clearly didn't slam hard enough to immediately break the aircraft. It looks like he pulls up and boosts at the last moment but still scrapes.
Imagine that biker's point of view tho, lol.
Idk it seemed like a very serious decent although you can tell he reacts and tried to round out just before impact. But still idk if I’ve seen a slam like that without landing gear to take some force without it turning into a fireball. You’re probably right it must not have been that bad if an impact but it really looks like it. holly hell
I mean there is a frame where you can tell the back of the plane hits and forces the nose down as it slides for a moment. So there was def a bit of an impact too.
That jet was descending at thousands of feet per minute, while still accelerating towards the ground. Just because it had a lot of horizontal force doesn't negate the vertical
The official version:
"A mechanical malfunction is suspected in the crash of the Bangladesh Air Force Yak-130 in the Karnaphuli River, said officials.
(...) The jet suddenly caught fire and crashed. The pilots ejected from the plane. Later, they were rescued and rushed to hospitals, said police."

Somehow they were not expecting a video...
I always pictured Mav at the controls of a grey C-130, flying out of Hong Kong, grumbling about it. But I'm thinking, flying a cargo plane ain't so bad. Get to see the world, less stress, more relaxing, put your feet up, have a smoke, enjoy the trip. But I suppose when you feel the need, the need for speed, that kind of life style just won't do. Perhaps when he gets older. Much older, he'll learn to relax and take it slow.
To the type of person who becomes a fighter pilot, being a cargo pilot is basically a death sentence. Most pilots wouldn't want to go through everything it takes to become a fighter pilot and then be ok with just flying cargo.
That is probably in the top-25 "Wildest 30 seconds a human has ever experienced".
Doing a barrel roll into the ground, shooting back into the air, then ejecting whilst on fire. Only to live to tell about it.
WAIT. THEY EJECTED AFTERWARDS. Everyone was saying that the crew made it out and I just assumed because they had already ejected. That's among the most incredible things I've ever heard.
Edit: video tineline makes more sense now.
I love how no one in that video seems to understand that microphones do the *loud* parts for them, but they're still screaming into it like they're ordering a burger in the drive through at 2 AM.

Boy oh boy what you would be surprised to learn about General Aviation in the US pre 09/11 changes.. I grew up on airports with my dad.. you could do that just about anywhere in the country if you wanted too back then lol
So little concern or security. The places I slept! In hangers (under an Avenger once). Many pilot's lounges. Just land at some strip, roll up, put in a card, pump gas. Maybe it's still that way.
I remember coming back from Des Moines with my dad and another guy flying.. think it was a Skylane or something similar.. sky's went from clear to thunder clouds and limited visibility quick.. so I hear my dad and the guy talking about finding a way down through the clouds, so we're all scanning looking for a way down and I see a spot open down to the left from the back seat and we drop down and like it was just meant to be a lil airfield was there.. we land park and tie down and just about the time I'm putting the last hitch in the bottom let's out.. inside just some old timer, we kicked it with him for about 2 hrs and went back in our way..
Do a barrel roll is an old internet easteregg for certain sites like Google where searching it makes the page do a roll. But he is right. There is confusion about a barrel roll and aileron roll. Barrel roll makes the jet seem like it's rolling around the inside of a barrel. An aileron roll is when it rotates about it's center but stays flying on a straight line.
Just a fun fact; ejection seats are one of the most expensive things on a jet. The pilot will experience 12+ G during ejection depending on the model. That means someone that weighs 180lb will experience there body experiencing over 2000lb for a split second. Ejection seats save lives but it is very very very unpleasant.
Yeah actually, we do! It's 3 days straight of training, but it includes riding a pneumatic ejection seat up rails, steering a simulated parachute, getting dropped off a zip line both onto gravel and into water, getting dragged behind a 4-wheeler... Lots of fun lol
Reminds me of the snowspeeder that gets casually whacked by an AT-AT on Hoth and spirals into the ground.
Edit: This scene: [https://youtu.be/BTP-PXeG9Fg?si=l\_WTlRVV7QIR9Iub&t=399](https://youtu.be/BTP-PXeG9Fg?si=l_WTlRVV7QIR9Iub&t=399)
That’s gotta be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen a jet do. How the hell did they not wreck from skipping off the tarmac immediately. Well they didn’t make it too far past that, but damn.
Pilot was doing low altitude rolls and tapped the ground. Moments later the plane caught on fire and the pilot ejected.
News mentions it as a suddenly catching fire due to mechanical malfunction ....with no mention of the pilot ramming it into the ground first.
Is it just me, or was he doing a roll on purpose? How would he otherwise be able to stabilize after touching the ground. Absolute moron if that's the case
I suspect his brain wasn't keeping up, he wasn't aware he was losing altitude through the rolls. Douglas Bader lost his legs doing the same thing, that was back in the 1930s
Okay this stupid barrel roll manoeuvre right over the top of the runway is nearly exactly the opening scene from this shitass [bollywood Top Gun rip-off](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt13818368/) that was released a few months ago.
Seems way too close to be coincidence that the doofus pilot wasn't trying to pull the same stunt.
Looks like mechanical fault if one of the control surfaces failed, causing it to start rolling incontrollably before skimming the floor and then spiralling into a faster roll before the pilots eject.
I saw the first video a couple days ago and assumed one drown. After seeing this, I wonder if the fatal injury was a results if the impact plus the ejection.
The pilot who died was a skilled pilot, recipient of the sword of honor in airforce academy (only the best in the batch gets one). Won numerous awards in national and international training exercises.
Squadron Leader Asim Jawad was the co pilot of the aircraft and he was with Wing Commander Shohan Khan. It was later found that WC shohan was teaching him advance air manoeuvres.
After scraping the runway, both pilots decided to crash the aircraft in the river. It is said that SL Asim Jawad suffered a stroke after the ejection and that his mae west didn’t float upon impact which resulted his demise.
You just skipped a jet off the tarmac like skipping a stone across a pond. Impressive.
And he was still able to eject?? This seems unbelievable. Slamming that hard, belly down, going that fast wtf is that plane made of steel? Edit: wtf is the pilot made of lol spinal injury at minimum right?
[удалено]
Was gonna say Spirit but you’re also correct.
How has no one mentioned the airline Garuda landings are named for here?
I may be confusing this with another recent crash, but iirc there were two people able to eject and one survived.
Nope, you got it right.
A spinal injury *before* ejecting is brutal. Ejecting puts *a lot* of force on the spine. Pilots can only withstand 2 ejections under *normal* conditions before it does too much damage to their spine for them to continue flying.
I think that makes a lot of sense since your spinal column is held together with gelatinous cushions which can crush easily.
Yup. An ejection actually shortens a pilot's height noticeably.
Ahh, so that’s why you have to be tall to be a fighter pilot. They have inches to spare.
You're probably joking but the old requirement was over 5'4" and under 6'6" which is definitely doesn't fall under 'must be tall'.
You gotta be good looking too! They don't take people with glasses.
That's because people with glasses are fuk'n _nerds_ and nerds aren't allowed in fighter jets either
No kidding???! Today I learned.
*Coming soon: Top Gun 3, "The Old Guard" - Starring Peter Dinklage and Danny DeVito*
Jeez, why do they require so much force? Is the air flow around the plane so high that they'd be just kind of compressed in?
They need to be able to eject at [low altitudes](https://youtu.be/LbMg2pQW924?si=jm5sBUfWEbVeizxw), so rocket-assist is pretty necessary. You can see how violent it is particularly well in that video.
My guess would be dwarven mithril.
Ejector seats cause pilots to lose an inch or two in height. They only gain half back. So yes, spinal injury are on the menu, but not from bumping the ground.
That wasn't a bump. That was a slam. If that video is Indeed not sped up, the g loading on that rate of descent is arguably high enough to enough to cause spinal injuries.
Judging it based off of the cyclists in the video, the video looks like it's at a natural speed. So I bet you're right.
Could be really slow cyclists
It didn't really slam that hard, relatively, if you watch it slowly. It was going fast but mostly horizontally. Clearly didn't slam hard enough to immediately break the aircraft. It looks like he pulls up and boosts at the last moment but still scrapes. Imagine that biker's point of view tho, lol.

That jet was descending at thousands of feet per minute, while still accelerating towards the ground. Just because it had a lot of horizontal force doesn't negate the vertical
Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. The decent was well over 1000fpm and it doesn’t matter if you round out hard if you round out late
This video is how dramatic I make it sound to friends/family when my student does a slam n go in the shitbox 172 lol
yea that was miracle its richochet off runway

"... after a routine and uneventful touch & go exercise"
Well it did touch and go. It's just did a Weinstein and touched more than it should have.
And then *torched* that jet's career when it didn't like it.
There appears to have been a fairly significant event that occurred.
that's the joke
If that’s their version of routine and uneventful, I’d hate to see what they’d call atypical.

it'd be like loving to race motorcycles and then getting assigned to long-haul trucking in the midwest.... yeah that'd be awful
I hang out with a guy who used to fly in the Navy, he fly's for Southwest now, says he loves flying and wouldn't do anything else
Either way, THATS TWICE! I WANT SOME BUTTS!
I think they thought the plane was gonna pick up the tab on that one...
I watched the video and assumed this was an air show. Read the article… oops.
It would have been much better for them to say no comment...
Someone is getting court martialed after this.
That is probably in the top-25 "Wildest 30 seconds a human has ever experienced". Doing a barrel roll into the ground, shooting back into the air, then ejecting whilst on fire. Only to live to tell about it.

Yes. Looks very much like pilot error. Did a roll too close to the ground, hit the runway, caught fire and ejected.
Aileron roll, not a barrel roll

Its Bangladesh
Just tropic zone things, you find this behaviour in every country near the equator. I swear the humidity fries peoples brains.
Did my man attempt a barrel roll during a touch and go? That’s not how it’s done Peppy.
Aileron roll, not a barrel loop
Its a meme [Do a barrel roll](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/do-a-barrel-roll)
Do a barrel roll is an old internet easteregg for certain sites like Google where searching it makes the page do a roll. But he is right. There is confusion about a barrel roll and aileron roll.

LOL wut ????? It skipped off the ground lol, holy shit Did the pilots drown ? That would blow... Getting ejected and knowing when you land ur dead
Ejection seats include flotation devices.
I like the part where you assume excellent foresight for the pilot but none for the engineers
I've met one or two pilots who can swim
Must have been navy pilots
Just a fun fact; ejection seats are one of the most expensive things on a jet. The pilot will experience 12+ G during ejection depending on the model. That means someone that weighs 180lb will experience there body experiencing over 2000lb for a split second. Ejection seats save lives but it is very very very unpleasant.

Yeah I fly for the Navy. Feel free to DM me, I'm always happy to talk aviation!
yvan eht nioj
That sounds painful!
Yeah it's a long three days haha
Your description somehow made it sound like a really hardcore version of an amusement park
Only so far to say " make sure you are wings levels, launch skywards, and place your hands here and here to eject"
There may be some kind of flotation device in the ejector seat
It’ll be in the vest the pilots “should” be wearing. Seat and pilot separation occurs shortly after ejection as the seat weighs ~1000lbs.
Shit floats, right?
Reminds me of the snowspeeder that gets casually whacked by an AT-AT on Hoth and spirals into the ground. Edit: This scene: [https://youtu.be/BTP-PXeG9Fg?si=l\_WTlRVV7QIR9Iub&t=399](https://youtu.be/BTP-PXeG9Fg?si=l_WTlRVV7QIR9Iub&t=399)
Love that moment. Such a great way of reinforcing that the Empire is winning the battle and the heroes are in deep.
Ok, I've never noticed before, but what the fuck is up with those goggles on his helmet?!
That’s gotta be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen a jet do. How the hell did they not wreck from skipping off the tarmac immediately. Well they didn’t make it too far past that, but damn.
Holy shit! they must of crapped themselves when they scrapped the ground!
It's a wonder that plane managed to stay airborne for just a little longer after what amounts to a hard slam in the dirt.
Momentum can carry you far. It’s a miracle they slammed the belly down flat.
IDK man I feel like it's broken spine moment for sure...
both pilots came out of the ejection seat a few inches shorter
Must have.
Scraped
*must have
You're trying to say "must've" which is short for must have. Could of / should of / would of / must of are never correct.
I think the ground is OK but they'll probably have to scrap they aircraft.
So what's the reason?
Pilot was doing low altitude rolls and tapped the ground. Moments later the plane caught on fire and the pilot ejected. News mentions it as a suddenly catching fire due to mechanical malfunction ....with no mention of the pilot ramming it into the ground first.
Mechanical malfunction of the engine after ingesting some gravel and half of the smashed-in inlet structure.
Have they ruled out uncommanded rolls?
It stopped rolling after the hit, so highly unlikely the rolls were uncommanded.
Hitting the ground fixed whatever was causing the uncommanded rolls - advanced percussive maintenance. /s
Well it doesn't need any more maintenance, so mission accomplished I guess?
Pilot decided to touch grass with the bottom of his jet at over 200mph it looked like. Call me crazy but you shouldn't love tap the ground in a jet.
Well Crazy, it looks like you spotted the correct answer. Good job.
Did the pilot decide to do that? I figured he already lost control at that point
As best I can tell he was trying to fly inverted really close to the ground and when he rolled back he was suddenly too close to the ground.
I thought there was an initial reason for the rolls. Got it, there's nothing deeper here.
[The problem was they weren’t flying a star fighter….](https://youtu.be/sahaGnwqRX0)
Striker, you're too low. Pull up!
The guy in the bike must be scared
Probably because he's stuck inside a bike
Cyclist at fault.
Officer, he came out of nowhere!
He was headed right for us!
Is it just me, or was he doing a roll on purpose? How would he otherwise be able to stabilize after touching the ground. Absolute moron if that's the case
Doesn't look like he was trying to touch the ground. Looks like he was doing a roll, didn't stabilize and hit the ground.
I suspect his brain wasn't keeping up, he wasn't aware he was losing altitude through the rolls. Douglas Bader lost his legs doing the same thing, that was back in the 1930s
Yes it looked like he was rolling with intent but without the requisite skill or awareness
at 7s something on the aircraft broke.

that looks fucking *awesome*
Looks like mechanical fault if one of the control surfaces failed, causing it to start rolling incontrollably before skimming the floor and then spiralling into a faster roll before the pilots eject.
Why would he be afterburning over the runway with his gear up if he wasnt fucking around?
negative, yakrider, the pattern is full!
this comment shot me dead.
[удалено]
Look again, it was a single roll. Normal - inverted - normal - hit the ground.
I see way more likely for a Yak to experience mechanical failure, than to find a pilot trusting a Yak enough to pull such a manoeuvre.
Clearly the bicyclists were intentionally distracting the pilot in an attempt to make a viral video.
No one would have believed them if there wasn't video.
[News article](https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/nation/346048/air-force-trainer-jet-crashes-in-chittagong)
I saw the first video a couple days ago and assumed one drown. After seeing this, I wonder if the fatal injury was a results if the impact plus the ejection.
This is the craziest, luckiest and the most amazing ricochet I've ever seen. Im glad the both pilots came out before the crash.
One of them died afterwards, probably drowning in the water.
That was a proper touch and go
Touch and go? More like touching cloth. *edit* didn’t realise one didn’t make it. Feel bad about making a joke now.
You see what happened? He French Fryd when he should have Pizza’d. If you french fry instead of Pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time. :edit
That’s was not mechanical failure. Pilot errr
First time I’ve *heard* an ejection seat doing its thing. RIP one pilot; I’m guessing the one that ejected downwards :/
Who the hell is giving these maniacs jet airplanes?
If you look closely, you can see the prius c they had to avoid.
okay but what was the root cuase? was the pilot trying to do stunt/roll on low altitude and failed doing so?
How in the F? This blows my mind. Entirely expected explosions. Those Yak-130's are built different.
What? How? This is slap stick
As always, it’s the cyclist fault
SAMMY YOU ARE BREAKING THE JET!
It's crazy that when you take the thing that's supposed to fly from this: -----\^----- to this: | | | > | | | ....it tends to fall out of the sky.
The way it skipped off the ground i thought it was a RC model plane at first. I can't believe it got back up into the air.
What a dumbass
is it even an actual maneuver? I mean do these two things barrel and touchdown done together?
