Virgin Galactic pilot actions studied in spaceship crash
Investigators are trying to solve several cases about the recent crash of a Virgin Galactic spacecraft during a test flight, including how the pilot managed to escape and survive the crash that killed his co-pilot. Investigators are trying to determine how surviving pilot Pete Sideboard, 43, managed to get out of the rocket plane and parachute to the ground from a height of roughly 15,000 meters in altitude virtually devoid of oxygen. Hart said Sideboard, now hospitalized with a shoulder injury, did not exit through the cockpit's escape hatch.
