I hope the Pilot is safe otherwise that guy had time to eject but he gave his last to safeguard the aircraft by trying till the last moment.
Also, every unit of F-16 is very important, this is a big loss and i hope it isnt B52
Evidently it was a pilot error for pulling out loop at very low altitude or another explanation could be that the pilot was trying to pull a close call loop to the ground but he misunderstood the terrain for being plain but in reality wasn’t.
One last possibility could be which I don’t actually believe it to be the case is that while he was lowering altitude, maybe he lost hold of the throttle or some other malfunction in cockpit but this is the least likely case.
Most likely is Pilot error and Wrong calculated pull...

i doubt it is pilot error... they are highly trained and carefully selected... i am more concerned is given the age of the jet the some controls would malfunctioned.
also he didnt eject.,
