A RAF pilot exits his crash-landing Harrier jump jet at Kandahar, Afghanistan, in May 2009.

The pilot screwed up his approach by getting too steep and fast, this caused the flaps to schedule up with a corresponding loss of lift and drag. An early go around would have saved the jet, but the approach was continued with the spectacular results.

Best thing about that mess was the ejection seat.......Chive on mate!
