Teaching abstinence to pilots is as useful as teaching it to teenagers. Make safe buzzjobs a part of the private pilot PTS and lives would be saved.
Amazing the copilot survived with minor injuries.
Not if he got off before the flight.yeah..... I find that HARD to believe....
I can't see how the copilot survived, much less with minor injuries??

Hit on the pilots side and there was little 'impact', the deceleration was reasonably shallow angle and low rate. This is a great lesson in how to crash if you actually have to.
Well, that's a purdy little bank angle for low level horsing around.
I'm amazed. It did not look like anything close to survivable based on the speed of impact and fireball.Seems true... and it was the survivor's 2nd crash....

'not sure if it was a fly-by gone wrong...
From the Baa report....
Crew was returning to its base following an ambulance flight from Reykjavik. On final approach, pilots were instructed by ATC to make a go around and to follow a holding circuit in the west of the airport due to a Fokker ready to depart. Few minutes later, while attempting a second approach, crew completed a left turn to align with runway when it stalled. Left wing hit the ground and the aircraft crashed in flames in a field located 4.4 km northwest of the airport. All three occupants were seriously injured and evacuated to a local hospital. Few hours later, a pilot and the doctor died from their injuries.
No mention of the "low pass"..........
Or the fact that the gear was up and it also looked like the flaps were up?From the Baa report....

that looks photoshopped.
I drew a red line on a screenshot from the OP's video (rear camera view on approach) to enhance the fuzzy wingspan.
Does that count as photoshopped? :wink2:

Wait, what is the lesson I'm supposed to get? Absorb the impact with the wing on the opposite side of the plane from you, and only kill the occupants on that side?
Is this for real?

If it is not real, someone did a great job at staging the wreckage...

Showing off kills you
That's what they said about TWA 800.
<as I duck for cover>
Make your angle of impact as shallow as possible and your energy will dissipated slow enough for survivability. Had they gone in upright they would have likely all survived unless as I suspect the medic was squatting between the seats unrestrained looking out the window.
Had they been upright with the lift vector pointing away from the ground rather than nearly parallel to the ground, it would have been an entirely different situation and quite possibly wouldn't have even been a crash.

Most of the energy was dissipated by the left wing folding, then the right wing going over the top and then into the ground. The engines, props and wings (with fuel tanks) are a large part of the plane's mass, and once they were gone, the fuselage tobogganed until it stopped.
All three aboard survived the actual crash, the pilot and medic died at the hospital.
That is even harder to believe....
