I wouldn't call someone that is most likely dead a moron, not very classy.
Maybe if you actually read the comments on the site you'd realize what happened, three people died in the crash.

What had happened is the aircraft was modified for turbo props. On this aircraft there is control gust locks just above the throttle, they where to also modified, and locked. This lock prohibits the throttle from being moved to open. Yes the control surfaces where locked, or partly locked. Event happened AUG 27 1992 in Canada, Gimli park.
Know what you're talking about before making light of a grave situation, may they all rest in piece.

A terrible unfortunate accident that no one could have foreseen or even a skilled pilot could have handled in such a short period of time.
I don't read the comments. I did not know someone had most likely died in the crash. It just seemed like the pilot was being a moron by pitching the nose up that high. If I offended anyone I am sorry.
Because I'm sure he was trying to do a loop.
Tragic accident that could have been avoided. Every checklist I've ever seen says to check the controls-free before takeoff. Most aircraft have you remove the gust/control lock during preflight inspection. This aircrafts checklist has you taxi onto the runway then release the lock. There are two entries on the line up checklist that call for the lock to be released to complete the checklist. Checklist discipline is very important in aviation, as you saw in the video.
The checklist below is for the military version of the DHC-4 called the CV-2B.

Are you serious?
I can't ever imagene anyone ever surviving this:
Did you actually watch the video all the way to the end?
Yeh, how can you possibly imagine anyone survived that?
there you have it folks...dont take an aircraft for a turbine engine conversion test 😛
Seen that video on ATCBOX! That is a very unfortunate and saddening event. RIP
