I can't believe there isn't any professional footage of this yet? Wasn't the whole event being taped or televised?
 
that sucks🙁 I've flown down to the races with my wife and some friends, and she just can't do it any more because she worries about things like this.....
 
Hmm.. I have them all in FLV. Can you upload FLV to Youtube?

How do they violate the TOS, does anyone know?

I just read the ToS and couldn't find any relevant passages. However Youtube does reserve the right to remove content without notice for any reason in the ToS.

Edit - the ToS does link to the community guidelines with rules such as
YouTube is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.

So maybe that's what they mean by ToS.

Also I chuckled when I saw this:
If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it.

Well, there goes almost everything I have ever watched on Youtube 😛

One of my buddies from high school goes there every year to compete. His entire crew is fine, luckily.

"Holy shit, did you see that?"

Actually no, because you pointed the camera at your fucking feet at the moment of impact, dickhead. Good work, the only interesting moment you'll ever film and you completely fucked it up.

Anyone got any footage that isn't complete shit?

I'm just going to guess you make the pizza guy bring your pie down to you in the basement because you're too lazy to go up to the front door.

Check out the missing control surface on the tail:

In addition to the apparently missing trim tab, it's odd that the tail wheel is out like that. Certainly points to some type of mechanical issues. I have my A&P, but I don't know the specific sequence of how the P-51 gear cycles. I wouldn't think he'd have the time to open the gear, or want to at that speed.
RIP.
