Any news on how the pilot is doing? Slamming straight down or even slightly inverted from that height had to do a lot of damage.

1) what can an untrained bystander do to help, especially if there's ARFF trucks rolling?
2) how would they get out of the terminal building air side?
Yes, I already addressed that I didn't realize it was a controlled environment. I am used to flying out of smaller airports.

If you go full power in a 152 and you slowly stall and go full nose up, you might not see a noticeable pitch drop, but you'll enter a spin with the yaw.

After looking at the clip a few times, I am quite certain this was a full power, full nose up 'come on, climb you stupid plane'-kind of situation resulting in a stall/spin entry. At full flaps a 152 climbs, but noticeably shallower than without flaps. Especially at slow speeds. If it was a botched landing, the plane was likely very slow to being with. At that point full power likely won't give you any noticeable climb performance.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

You can see in the video and in the stills that for whatever reason he has almost full left rudder in it.
