When some of these more advanced fighters lose engines, they lose power to their flight systems and their planes become almost unflyable.
The Pilot probably held onto his ride as long as he could but he has an altitude limit for ejecting.
I feel terrible for everyone involved, the father of the family who saw it all wiped out, and the pilot who will probably not only never forgive himself, but will probably not want to climb into a cockpit again.
