Personally, I just feel for the owner/pilot for his loss! I also wonder if Jan asked the pilot's consent to posting this video here and on You Tube and opening him up to this relentless second guessing and armchair quarterbacking. I also wonder if that laughing voice heard might not be the videographer himself? Makes you wonder why this video was even posted?

Who among us hasn't pulled a dumb thumb at some point which cost us a plane? Would you want it plastered all over RCU and over analyzed and argued about, for however long this thread continues to bleed? At some point this activity just becomes morbid and without soul. Just my opinion. Give the guy a break and stop prolonging the pain.
