Having read all that has been written, i'd like to add my piece. Yes it was a mistake, but the video doesn't do it justice. The ground slopes away beyond the walls swiftly, so the aircaft was approx 100' AGL at the time. The wind was coming from red 040 at 15 kts. The aircraft was heavy and less responsive to control and by the time the loos were seen to be in danger from the considerable downwash heading swiftly toward them it was all too late to do anything about. Call it poor airmanship, an oversight, a mistake, whatever you wish. I made that mistake and i'm truely relieved the toilets were unoccupied!
