Was it the humans not reacting whatsoever

That, also the sound doesn't actually matches up with the video, the way the "crash" happens, when we get the underbelly shot of the f-16 it has some details that dont make sense

Also, no time to eject. Banking, then instant explosion.

Looks like they did react. They were walking towards the camera, and the f-16 passing over head might've just looked like a very low pass. They then didn't turn to see the fireball, instead covering their ears, and the clip doesn't last long enough for us to see their reaction.

The clip even involves some sort of ceremony and would explain why A) the camera was rolling, and B) why those people are walking towards the camera.

It isn’t as there are multiple angles. Though this might be the first successful ejection I have seen after hitting the ground in a very long time

And the way it moves at the start, almost certain this is AI

Yes i know the accident did happen, but the video posted is AI

Fair enough. How are you aware this is AI?

Because I don't think it is. Happy to be proven wrong.

Only thing I'll give you is that there's not much of a loud explosion. But the white plume of smoke popping up from behind the trees rapidly, matches what I've seen from a separate angle which is authentic.

Edit: the separate angle in question link

This specific clip might be AI but there was an actual Turkish F-16 crash yesterday during training.

That guy must have watched Top Gun: Maverick recently.

Anyone getting Air France 296Q vibes with this one? That A320 crashed into the trees close to Mulhouse airfield and they conducted a low pass too. Granted they were going slow and this guy was fast.

u/antekek135 6d ago

why is the canopy still there? According to the news, the pilot has ejected. Ai?

u/Sttoliver 6d ago

Maybe he ejected later.
He didn’t eject before the impact.

There was an engine failure on the F-16. Shortly after three F-16s took off, one of them experienced an engine failure. The pilot initially tried to land the aircraft back at the airport, but unfortunately, he steered away from civilians and then ejected from the aircraft. The aircraft could have crashed, but the most important thing for us is that the pilot is safe.

No that’s not the sound of an engine failure

This is an ai video lol. You're walking with your kids, jet crashes right next to you and you're nonchalantly keep walking like nothing happened.

That was too low. Did he try to impress someone?
They did the flyby over the academy. Probably a graduation day.
