I used to maintain EA-6B's they are essentially the same airframe and use the same kind of ejection seats, there are so many inspections required now to prevent that sort of thing from happening again. It is amazing that he survived. I hope his seat mech's bought him a beer after it was all said and done. This story is still told by some of the saltier chiefs that were there.
