Plane Hits Debris and Crashes

Actual Debris?

In this footage, a Dornier Do-24ATT hit submerged debris while doing a touch-and-go.

It certainly looks like a “water loop” where the pilot landed too flat and forward on the pontoon which causes the CG to come around and swap ends. We also don’t think it was “debris” at all.

Also, someone in the YouTube comments claimed that the plane is owned by the grandson of Dornier himself and that he did the maneuver on purpose. In fact, he actually practices the maneuver regularly in case he needs to avoid anything on the water.
