Punched almost horizontally off the port side about halfway down the deck.

Depends on level of classification, if that was a JWICS terminal there will be law enforcement involved.

The F-35 slid all the way down the deck, that could have been a lot worse than it was.

In the YouTube video I posted above you can see the pilot eject around the 15-16 second point.
