"Eject! Eject!" Imagine hearing that and the next second flying out into the sky at hundreds of miles an hour, your life in the hands of a chair. Luckily it's a very special chair that has rockets, restraining harnesses, parachutes and more. Today is the story of the invention of Ejector Seats and there's no one better to tell it than John Nichol, who had to eject while on duty in the first Gulf War. His new book "Eject! Eject!" is out now.
