Air Traffic Control tapes prove Maj. Alex Turner said, "I'm putting it away from somebody's house here,” just before ejecting.
The Air Force on Tuesday was still investigating the Colorado Springs crash of an Air Force Thunderbirds jet and had no timeline for completion of the inquiry, a spokeswoman for Air Combat Command in Virginia said.

Fortunately, he managed to get his plane safely away in time to punch out. Unfortunately, Capt Jeff Kuss of the Blue Angels had to make the sacrifice to protect civilians. Both acted in the highest honor to their service and their country. They saved lives, even at the cost of one's own life.

I'm glad Maj. Turner was able to walk away. I was saddened by the death of CAPT Kuss.

That is a very heroic move. He saved the lives of others before saving his own.
