    Honestly, I’m still having a hard time seeing it. There doesn’t appear to be anything forward of the ball turret…

      you can see the glass of the pilots cockpit right behind a shred of steel.

      The pilot is likely flying very blind, and only based on the plane taking the photo.

      They likely had some structural steel that prevented them from dying instantly from the blast. or maybe it got shredded, and they kept it up through pure will, then died afterwards.
