It’s a great video of a F-16 Airforce Thunderbird that tries to do a loop at an airshow. My understanding is that the airfield was higher elevation, and someone forgot to callibrate the altimeter. The pilot punches-out right before the aircraft pancakes. Added bonus: additional video taken from the cockpit.

The Devil IS in the details.
Fortunately Death didn’t come along for that ride.
