Tnx for clip.

From what I could see, #1 was flat and made a wheel landing.

#2 was high and you could see the prop blades turning which meant he
was at idle or very close to it tryig to slow down and lose the excess
altitude.

From what I then saw, #2 overran #1 and at the last minute he tried to
go around and put power on and pulled the nose up. About that time his
right wing underan the left stablizer of #1 and that threw #2 into a
steep right bank with up elevator and high power.

From that point it was preordained and the crash resulted.

This may be wrong but is as I saw it in the clip.



#2 right wing under the left stab also explains #1 pitching down...

It is good to be able to examine this sort of accident with this level of detail...may save someone some day...
