This should be tagged suicide. This was no accident. No one wants to die of dehydration and starvation like they do, legally, to the elderly in hospice care.

This actually looks very similar to some other cases of pilots getting too many Gs when doing loops or other stunts and falling unconscious. I don't think it was suicide, it was just a 90-year-old man getting knocked out by extreme G-forces and crashing.

Hell of a way to go out! I mean, can you think of a cooler way for a 90 year old man to go out with style?

People suggesting suicide are idiotic. This man achieved more than 99.99% of people will ever be able to. Also he most likely still had a few years ahead of him.
However, this also makes me wonder how a 90 year old person, regardless of their fitness and life achievements, was still allowed to fly.

Nah, he just took a bad loop. 90 year old semi-famous astronauts are probably going to be bigger thrillseekers than your average geriatric.

If it started out as suicide, it looks like he changed his mind, he tried really hard to pull up in the end

Dude I remember playing that game in like 1998. I got a plane off the ground quite a bit. But crashed every time.
I was always like:
“It this actually hard or do I just suck?”
It was fun either way

Why is a 90 year old flying a plane?
I bet he doesn't drive. Why he is flying?

Having hundreds of people's lives in your hands when your flying a tin can at 30K feet is crazy. Being a commercial pilot must be stressful.

I have watched this video in slow mo many times and it looks like he landed in the forest and it skidded into the lake from there. You cannot see the plan when it travels between the skyline and the lake, then a little speck of what's left of the plane shoots out at the lake.

Nah it's definitely directly into the water away from the shore. The video compression causes the plane to completely vanish for a few frames as it moves in front of the trees, but you can see the faint shape of the plane almost leveled out as it hits the water.
