Reminds me of the local history of my hometown actually; in my home town in 1960 (I wasn't alive then BTW
), a Canberra was flying a routine training mission from Germany to the UK when it encountered some form of problem (an electrical failure I believe) over my home town. The pilots had two options - they could eject now and watch the stricken aircraft crash down upon the town, killing many people, or fly away from the town and attempt to eject later. They chose the second option, but shortly after flying away, it hurtled groundward and crashed into the local canal (about 1 or 2 miles outside of the town). The pilots were unable to eject and unfortunately they died.
