The weapons systems officer who was shot down over Iran said that he likely hit the ground at nearly 100 miles per hour, and said that his survival of the impact was a “testament of God’s provision in my life.” After gathering his bearings and severely injured, he sought out the high ground.
The Weapons Systems Officer who was shot down over Iran earlier in the war spoke to 60 Minutes this week, in a first interview since the shoot down. Per the pilot, once they both ejected, they ended up 5miles apart once they landed.
