interestingly enough it looks like the are recovering some or all of the wreckage tonight

How is that interesting?  In what air crash was the wreckage not recovered and endlessly analysed to figure out what happened and why it happened?

It is interesting because it's unusual to people not in aviation, even interesting to some who are. And he never said airframes are never recovered, or attempted to be recovered.

From all the news reports nobody would realise how close this is to houses either. The reality is that JUST the other side of the trees you see in the footage of the wreck in the field are lots of houses!

Maybe he really wanted to try and regain control. Could have been a case of 'I'm not letting this go down'. Who knows what happened, engine flame out, g-loc, who knows.

I've always said if my plane goes down, so do I, but I don't have an ejector seat anyway!

He did eject, but he may have died from the impact of hitting the ground, or unfortunately the aircraft could've been upside-down when he ejected.

Big respect to him for flying it away from populated areas to save members of the public rather than himself. R.I.P
