The pilot didn't crash the plane. Something went wrong with the plane - either a malfunction, or a remote control takeover by a foreign actor, etc., forcing him to eject or die imminently in an unresponsive plane losing altitude and going down.
I mean think about it. Those planes fly at extremely high altitudes, like 50,000 - 60,000 ft! The fact that he ejected at 2,000 ft means he had been likely fighting and struggling to fix whatever was going wrong as the plane was dropping like a rock until he couldn't wait any longer to eject.
In my past experience working in that industry for 10 years, I knew numerous pilots and they were about the most patriotic men, who were super sharp and extremely competent. As a matter of pride and reputation, none would have ejected unless there was no other option available.
Remember, the pilot had just experienced extreme stress, and a harrowing unexpected ejection while employed as a soldier for our country. An ejection cannot be compared to a voluntarily jump with a parachute. It is very violent and often injures you, and it is so fast you barely can process the experience. Then you pray the chute opens in time.
So, after the pilot fell 2,000 feet and landed in a field or road somewhere, he had to walk some distance to find someone who was able to call for help for him, as he clearly had no ability or device to do so on his own.
Then he gets an incompetent operator who wasn't listening very well to his request for aid which had to have been extremely frustrating.
so it's everybody else's fault except the aircraft commander of the crashed aircraft? That's not really how it works, once the checklist is signed off the AC is in charge and takes ownership.
There are tons of controllers that could have directed the pilot to an alternate airfield for an emergency landing. That is a portion of mission planning that happens before every military flight. We don't hear those radio calls though.
If a plane has been remotely taken over by another 'entity', the pilot will be unable to override or control the plane in any manner.
I'm guessing the pilot was either hijacked remotely, and/or unable to communicate with ground control, or suffering a possible heart or brain related issue (vax injury) and may have come to only at the last second with no ability to do anything other than eject to save himself.
pilot crashes an $80M plane that flies itself and you're upset about the 911 operator!?!?

I hope we learn what really happened.
that is a big jump to assume the plane got hacked by a hostile entity. possible but would be the first time of that sort of attack vector.
radios would still work though you can't hack HF/VHF/UHF
former USAF aviator here btw
