Finished off with a catapult: 8-year-old Iranian boy smashed his head into the fighter's dome

8-year-old Iranian boy almost died, accidentally catapulting from a combat aircraft.

At an air show in Iran, an 8-year-old child, having received the opportunity to climb into the cockpit of a T-33A combat fighter, felt for himself what the ejection process means. As it became known, the child played with the ejection handle, as a result of which he broke through the glass dome of the cabin and received serious injuries.

It is reported that the child received severe injuries, in particular, it is known about open craniocerebral trauma, as well as numerous fractures of the arms and legs. At the moment, the child's condition is assessed as extremely difficult, while doctors have already performed complex operations in order to save the boy's life.

In the presented photo you can see that the body of the child and the pilot's seat broke the glass dome, which makes it possible to realize the force of the blow taking place during the ejection, and against the background that the child was clearly not prepared for this, it is a miracle that with such severe injuries managed to survive.

It is known that we are talking about a decommissioned fighter, while the organizers of the air show have not yet commented on the circumstances of the incident, nor does it remain unknown and why a fully functioning catapult remains in the decommissioned fighter
