Stay with the aircraft

You decide to stay with the aircraft. Gripping the control stick, you punch the afterburner, hoping to cool the fire that’s quickly spreading across the fuel compartment. Metal splinters spray across the cockpit, ripping into your flight jacket and embedding themselves in your flight suit. A flash of light blinds your eyes as the control panel rips apart. Fiery sparks dance on around you. The last thing you remember is an ear piercing explosion, and then everything goes black.
Nothing remains of you or the aircraft, except for a deep charred crater on the surface of the earth.
