For those who want to discuss and learn from some destruction. Here's a nasty scenario that most of us could get into if our brain nods off for a few seconds. Talk about your short Field landing! Wow! I successfully imbedded this all by myself.

I watched it 4 times and I couldn't see Jesus Christ anywhere!!!

Otherwise, all I can say is

That was short...

Looks like he was low and slow with no power and did not expect the sink. The bottom fell out on him.

That was a good learning lesson for him I bet. Also betting he carries a bit more power now on his landings. He had zero power on this one. Listen to the engine rev as he realizes its to late.

This is a very good reason to have a little more power-on (and maintain an air speed to landing) durring approach or learn to slip and nail your spot. He was coasting in until he thought oh ...Power was all the way off.

Lucky ....

Any idea what was flying out of or away from the aircraft? To me it looked like a person ejecting out of the plane

It was the landing gear...

Not to be cliche, but he ran out of altitude, airspeed and ideas all at the same time!!

I agree with AkT on his assessment, either airspeed, power, or altitude would have been his "out" in this situation

I see now. I went back and watched it full screen.

It looks like one of those 70-80 % RC planes the way it crashes.

I really don't want to stir up the crap from the other mishap related threads, but if this was as straightforward as the clip shows, and not a mechanical issue with power... A prime example of HUA and someone oblivious to what their airplane is trying to tell them. And that's really hard to do in a Cub.

This video is pure CGI...totally fake. It was emailed around a year ago or so.

I thought I just 'liked' my cub.
Maybe I actually 'need' a cub.....

She does talk loud.....
