The article title says crash ejected crew. Not sure how to take that.
Did they eject then the plane crashed or did they crash and were ejected.

Sounds like they ejected prior to crash, one caught up in power lines. Both injured but alive.

Should have been men and went down with the plane and steered it away from a neighborhood instead of ejecting and having their manless plane slam into houses.
Alaska Airlines Flight 261 is a good example of pilots thinking in the face of death.

Tell that to the pilots of AS261 if you could.

You saying Denzel could have landed this thing?

You would have thought the crew could have crashed the plane in nearby Lake Worth rather than ejecting and allowing the plane to crash in a populated area.

Capt Hauck crashed while attempting to land his ailing T-38 after an engine malfunctioned and caught fire. With black smoke billowing from the exhaust and the aircraft losing altitude in a high nose-up attitude, the safety officer on the ground radioed Capt Hauck: "You're on fire, punch out!" To that, he responded: "Hang on ... we have a bunch of people down there".
Should have been men and went down with the plane

From the article:
The two pilots ejected themselves before the crash.

3 homes damaged, 3 residents with minor injuries, both pilots hospitalized but one was Careflighted in critical condition (I'd guess the one whose chute got tangled in powerlines):

They were probably surveilling an area infested with Patriots.

There are failure modes where they could have had no directional control of the plane. In some planes you lose power, you eject because you no longer have any control of where the plane is going to go.
