As his airplane was moments from hitting the ground, a pilot unbuckled his seatbelt and flew out of the aircraft, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report of a fatal crash in Pennsylvania in October 2022.

The Bearhawk Patrol plane crash in Hanover Township on Oct. 29, 2022 killed two people, the pilot, identified in media reports as Ronald Snyder, 76, and a passenger, identified in media reports as Michael Bowen, 59. Several minutes into the flight, the aircraft began to level off and witnesses reported the airplane “rolled” and then “bucked,” according to the report.

Witnesses said they saw Snyder out of the airplane and then saw him spiral off the airplane’s tail before the plane descended into the ground, according to the report.
