Two problems with the second aircraft:
* 2 bystanders could have been killed, the white t-shirt guy and the individual on the bike
* botched up approach (I've the impression he 'falls through' just before the trees) and landing (3 bounces - first hitting the water hard, pulling lots of elevator just before). This should have been "tea, no biscuits" for this guy. Even without the bystanders, less than 6 feet from hitting the concrete road, which forms a 10+ feet high ridge at that position. All this in strong, gusty wind conditions on a lake shore...
