You see it nose down hard when the pilots eject.
Are you sure that's an F-14???

I highly doubt it was a F14 Seems more like a f-16D?(Two seater is the D-verison right greg and jeb?)
I don't see a two engine Fighter going down over a FOD'ed out engine when there is 2. Seems more likely to be a single engine aircraft ie F-16, A-6, Ect ect

But the bird entered from the left side of the plane from the looks of it. I'm thinking more along the line of a A-4, A-6 or F-11 as they had a single engine but intakes on either side of the fuselage.

Could be a Tomcat, though...a combat jet trimmed out for landing that catastrophically loses thrust in one side (especially if it's got engines as spaced out as an F-14) is going to have a pain of a time when the pilot gooses the throttles to get power up and keep flying. If this is an older video, especially, it could be an earlier Tomcat, which IIRC had engines that were not very receptive to gross throttle adjustments (i.e. you couldn't just slam them open and get instant response).
Low & slow is no place to lose an engine, it doesn't matter what you're flying, but especially not when they're spaced like a Tomcat's.
