I wonder if something happened and he knew he wasn’t going to make it, and so crashed intentionally to avoid the possibility of hitting something when the fuel ran out. There are so many little islands in that area, and he could have plausibly ditched in the water, however cold it would be. Badass yes.

It looked like he did a loop at less than 1000 feet to me, and there was a fireball, even in the water, which makes me feel like there was fuel on board. Seemed like he was just pushing the limits like he's probably done his whole life. It looks like he maybe only needed another 10 to 50 feet of elevation and would have pulled it off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Em57Xha_Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Em57Xha_Y
