Interesting picture. Looks like it hit the ground level with almost no forward velocity. Don’t know how that would happen...

Simple. Engine suddenly stops working. Pilot pulls jet into vertical assent and then ejects when it stalls. Jet then falls vertically to the ground.

Nothing unusual about the state of the wreck. This Serb MiG-29 came down in Bosnia from 20,000 feet.
