Absolutely amazing! I am really surprised this clip hasnt made the media big time
Equally amazing that all involved got away with no more than scratches

Typical media...

"Falls out of sky", "Double decker".

Lucky escape. Seemed quite slow at the bottom, and crucially it kept moving (always important for survival).

Looks more like a high speed stall! too high an angle of attack but not slow?

Yeah... I just watched it again - not that slow after all (first comment was based on the slow motion version without realizing it I think).

I agree - stalled it during the pull up.
