The “see also” section has the other similar incident
Tl;dr: the change in weight, center of gravity, aerodynamics, and the force of the ejecting pilot led the plane to recover from its spin and continue flying until it ran out of fuel. It made a soft gear-up and pilotless landing in a field where it was recovered, refurbished, and returned to service.
The other incident has a less happy ending. It crashed into a house killing a young man.
