NEW: Check out last month's incident with this same airplane: [ Ссылка ]
EDIT: I've removed the first name of the pilot from the audio at the request of his family. I've also read reports that he was a minor, though other reports stated 18. The edits do not take away from the goal of the video and that is to show why it is important it is to practice go-arounds and power-on stall recovery -- even though students typically find stalls unsettling.
Surprisingly, everyone is safe, though with minor injuries. This was a student pilot performing some pattern work. I witnessed his prior landing while on the ground and gave him a couple good words.. it was a nice, buttery smooth landing. However, the last landing resulted in a bounce and a failed go-around. I landed past the scene and was first on site with a fire extinguisher - but by that point, the pilot was safe and the aircraft was an obvious loss. N8074E is no more.
It is clear what happened here. The real question will by WHY did it happen. The NTSB will look at all aspects of this which will probably include pilot error, training deficiencies, maintenance history, etc.
