750XL
As you say lucky guys and one I'd not seen before posted on the net. Where and when did it happen?
It looks like an attempt to fly at perhaps over max gross, 4 pob plus, fuel plus cameras etc. on what looked like a warm day by the people just wearing T shirts. Add in perhaps a high density altitude (I don't know the elevation of the strip) and you get a recipe for disaster!!
The strange thing is that none of the occupants said anything into the mic, and there were no expletives or commands such as "brace"! The engine note didn't seem to change either.
The amazing thing is that the pilot didn't try and put it down sooner (before the trees) when the rate of climb was negligable. He was also lucky to avoid a spinning-in and a fire after the crash.
Even without the slow motion, just watching it I experienced a sense of time compression! There is a lesson it this video for us all ......pilots and pax!
