What I don't understand, is why he didn't realize he was too low when
he rolled over and looked down? Seems like if he's done this for awhile
he would get a sense of good and bad? But maybe being on the road
and all the different locations they fly makes this a poor judgment tool.

Watching the cockpit video, the ground sure looks close to me, as the
B-52's on the ramp are filling the window :-)
