Probably due to a technical failure crashed historic aircraft Republic P-47D-40 Thunderbolt "Jacky's Revenge", wherein the killed his pilot, Bill Gordon (+56).

Have already been to pick up the airplane. The machine appears to be, except for one bent sheet of the propeller and perhaps minor damage to the left wing, as a intact. The flaps were in the open position and also the canopy was partially open. According to rescuers, the pilot after a safe landing into the water (which is in worse quality captured on the video) was trying to probably get out with a sinking aeroplane, which he maybe even partly succeeded.
