does anyone have the video from this?

Well, it was the takeoff that he messed up.
I tend to think that all the attention was a large factor. He may have
been a little too focused outside the plane. On one occasion I had to
fight a tremendous urge to show off.
Years ago with 200hrs under my belt, I got into the line-up to fly down
the Chicago lake front during the Air & Water Show. Fighting that little
voice saying "Go ahead and roll it, you can do it! The crowd will love it"
wasn't easy to ignore, but I did. The likely outcome would have been a
Tri-Pacer and it's dead pilot being fished from Lake Michigan or worse, an
encounter with beach comers.

High on the list of the hazards of road landings is that you might end up
on the 6 o'clock news...as was the case with the pilot in Baton Rouge.
