Comment on the linked YouTube video:

The final accident report was just released and it was confirmed as fuel starvation. The aircraft performed 12 seconds of inverted flight and the fuel pickup inlets are at the bottom of the fuel tank. Air was sucked into the fuel lines and fuel pump causing engine failure, and the pilot was unable to restart with the manual fuel pump. The flight procedures have been updated and inverted flight is prohibited.
