This was the horrific last moment of Capt. Brian Bews' CF-18 Hornet after he had to eject from the jet during a practice run for the Alberta International Airshow in Lethbridge, AB, yesterday afternoon.

The jet then crashed to the ground, erupting into a ball of flames.

Miraculously, Capt. Bews was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and was released earlier today.

The Defense Department is investigating the crash.
