i doubt front seat pilot ever thought about ejection at that moment,this JH7 belongs to CFTE, these test pilots face imminent death almost everyday, they love their career so much ,sometimes rather die than see their jet crashed

That's so sad and disturbing.....My sympathies to his family.May his soul R.I.P.
Now in the new images it's clearly visible that the pilot at the front was still trying to manage it somehow....as the RIO had ejected in time.A brave soldier he was.....

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots. As the saying goes. Man is not meant to be in the air so these individuals are to be respected for their courage.Oh God. May he RIP
Being a test pilot is a dangerous job.
Chinese fighter jet nose-dives into field at exhibition; 1 pilot confirmed dead
BEIJING — Chinese authorities said Saturday that a pilot died after an air force jet nose-dived and crashed at an air show.
Footage aired by China Central Television showed the jet sputtering and then plunging into a field Friday outside the northern city of Xi’an as one of the pilots ejected from the cockpit and landed beneath an open parachute.
In this photo released by China’s Xinhua News Agency, dense smoke is seen after an aircraft crash during an air show in Pucheng county, northwest China’s Shaanxi Province Friday, Oct. 14, 2011. There are no reports of casualties, and witnesses said they saw the pilot was ejected before the jet fell.

There are no reports of casualties, and witnesses said they saw the pilot was ejected before the jeft fell.

There are no reports of casualties, and witnesses said they saw the pilot was ejected before the jet fell.
Only one parachute was seen opening, and the plane, a two-seater JH-7 “Flying Leopard” fighter-bomber, burst into flames upon crashing. The other pilot’s seat appeared not to have ejected.
Jin Qiansheng, an official with the Yanliang National Aviation Hi-tech Industrial Base, announced the pilot’s death at the airshow on Saturday before a minute of silence was observed, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The pilot who ejected suffered only minor injuries, but his comrade appeared to have been trapped in the doomed plane, earlier Xinhua reports said, citing witnesses and air show organizer He Liang.
The plane crashed more than a mile (2 kilometers) from the nearest onlookers, and there were no deaths or injuries on the ground.
The crash is being investigated, and it wasn’t clear if mechanical problems or pilot error was to blame. The plane is powered by two highly reliable license-built Spey Mk202 engines, and it was considered unlikely that both would have stalled at the same time.
The Chinese-made JH-7 entered service in 2004 and is a mainstay of the country’s air force and naval aviation, with more than 100 built.
At least one of the planes crashed previously — during a China-Russian joint exercise in 2009 — killing both pilots.
China rarely releases information about military accidents, but the public nature of the crash and the rapid spread on the Internet of images of it happening made it impossible to keep secret.

western propaganda does its best to stereotyping people``an article about an accident all you need to do is to inform reader the time, place and event```but they will always add something out of a thin air to brainwash their readers

I am not surprised little Viets such as yourself cannot see what's wrong with lying. Theft and deceit seem to be a common trait amongst you.
