Not sure if this had already been posted - I found this video on YouTube

http://youtu.be/UR_nQWH5TBM

The first part is the relevant one

I think it's in russian but it shows the crash of the 500D with some interviews

I found this old thread that talks about it in details

http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=929

and this from the NTSB

Scary how the 500D appears to have nothing wrong with it and just bowls over suddenly.

It's Dutch the reporter is speaking.

I've never seen this video before, thank you for posting this, ThomasMagnum.

Holy crap Tiny . . . Job well done! Talk about one of those "super adrenaline" stories.

Thanks for posting ThomasMagnum .... it was difficult to watch (I had sound off at first) glad it turned out ok for this pilot.

Crazy video. Thanks very much. I'd never heard about this crash, just the one where there was a fatality. That guy Tiny is one powerful dude! Pilot's lucky as hell he was on the scene.
