You might have seen this before but...
The video is very dramatic and I enjoyed it even though I have seen it before. Pretty terrifying it must have been to discover that with fully deflected controls to keep level, the slowest he could go was 250-260 knots!...I'm not surprised that at that speed the "Wire" just ripped the hook out of the aeroplane...And then as the fuel vapours cleared to look out and see how little remained of the one wing!! WOW! Can't really imagine how his brain reacted to that sight!
