Do you know what the cause of the above crash was? I heard the pilot said, "A gust of wind hit me..." but looking at the water's surface and the wind sock in the video, there seems to be very light wind, and most gusts will increase your aparant airspeed, so will LIFT you up. From the wind sock it looked like a very light right crosswind, but even so, if a gust came from the right, it must have been a -hellofa- big one, to cause that.
