It is amazing he survived that - it was a proper crash!

I wonder if he just let the airspeed drop off a little too much on his approach - ground rush tends to do that to pilots - but his subsequent reaction should have been to go around carefully and reposition for another attempt rather than end up in almost a high hover running out of ideas

Wonder how much TR control/failure training he had done.
