I am learning about what this Major did when he flared late, and caused the death of Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., who was sitting in the back seat as an instructor, at this Wikipedia link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henry_Lawrence_Jr. . Explain to me what went wrong here. And, why did he eject sideways, when the eject system is suppose to eject him vertically? The motor never did fire to release him from the ejection seat. Can you tell me what may have happened?
