Mirage 2000 crash, crew ejected just before impact

On February 12, 2002, a Mirage 2000 crashed during a training flight on the BA 115 military base (Orange, France). The crew was preparing an alpha demonstration (spectacular maneuvers performed to show the fighter performances), but descended too low and the nozzles impacted the runway. It just had enough power to slightly climb, allowing the crew to eject.
