Those wings snapped off cleanly.

Must be many years old now. Clearly exceeded design limits and then some.

Sure looks that way, Matt. I remember a retired Navy Chief I used to work with used to say "Dumb ain't cheap".

This is not good! When you loose your wings at low altitude, God will be giving you new ones very quickly.
I guess the only good news is the plane went in inverted nose first. The pilot/crew must have been killed instantly.

Certainly wasn't healthy. Don't want to skimp out when building an aircraft.

After the wings came off, it took about 12 seconds to hit the ground. That's
a long time when you're waiting to die !!

Indeed, I was thinking the same thing Charles.
I have experienced this once in my life. Flying over the handlebars of my Motorcycle and through the air, with the only though in my head is that I am about to die. Not a good feeling at all. I still have to pull over after seeing a particularly nasty accident and calm my nerves.
Not a good video to watch.

Yep. Not a happy last few moments.
