On November 21, 2021, at Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey, a student pilot completed three successful circuits of takeoffs and landings under the guidance of a flight instructor. After these initial runs, the instructor deemed the student ready to fly solo.

During this solo flight, a video captured the aircraft's second landing attempt, which showed the plane bouncing upon touchdown. The student pilot initiated a go-around maneuver. However, during this attempt, the aircraft abruptly pitched upwards, lost lift in a stall, and veered left, plummeting toward the ground.

The aircraft made contact with the ground on the left side of the runway, causing significant damage to the left wing and the front section of the fuselage. Subsequently, a fire broke out post-impact.

The flight instructor, who had been overseeing the student's progress, confirmed that there were no mechanical or technical issues with the aircraft that could have interfered with its normal functions prior to the accident.

The incident's probable cause was identified as the student pilot's inability to maintain control during the go-around procedure, leading to an aerodynamic stall.

Poor training on the instructors part not because of the bounced landing everybody bounces a landing but because of the stall on the go around.

Did the walk/carried away

Wtf flew across the screen as he was landing?

It's a common mistake made on a go around. Comes down to poor training. When the pilot pushes throttles forward the nose naturally wants to come up, and depending on the aircraft will turn left or right. At the same time the pilot mistakenly pulls back on the yoke. Too bad he didn't know, or forgot, to keep his nose down to keep from getting into the high AOA and stall.

Yes this exactly.

Instead of saving the landing, lower the nose slightly so you don't bounce any higher, add full power, and build speed during a gradual climb. Once you've gained airspeed, begin a normal go-around climb. Just remember that this should all happen at once: you should push the nose forward as you add power - Both hands go forward at the same time." https://boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/...ng-go-arounds/

Could've kept the video going.

Good question, looks too slow to be a lens flare/reflection.
