Looks like the plane had very little airspeed. Resembles how it looked back when I was first getting into r/c when I was a kid and came in for a landing way to slow and the plane was right at the stall speed only a few yards off the deck. Watching that video, looks like the plane was nice and level coming in for what appeared to be the same a very smooth controlled landing. But once that plane slowed, it stalled. Looks like it stalled roughly 50 or so feet over the bridge.
