Posts like this are so tedious, especially when the avatar isn't even marginally relevant

Wrong manuever? What, did he try to do a barrel roll or something?

Not terribly unusual for a hotshot in a fighter jet to do some stupid maneuver to impress people on the ground, especially in a country with lax enforcement preventing such a thing.

Or there was an engine failure...

That wouldn't explain why he left the runway and crashed into a bunch of static aircraft on the pad.

He pulled a "wrong maneuver" during takeoff, which caused a loss of power.

On-topic, very tragic...

Nothing in the article says there was a loss of power, that's just Zambies' theory.

It says it in the first paragraph, though.

Literally, "lost power"

I'm doing air quotes as I type this with my tongue.
