That’s roughly what you’ll say to yourself as you watch the first 60 seconds of this RC fighter jet video. The 1:3-scale hobby plane, which apparently cost $35,000 to build, really does put on an impressive show, swirling and soaring all across the beautiful blue sky. And then it simply disappears into a violent 1:3-scale explosion, leaving flames licking the air and black smoke casting shadows on what was once a glorious aircraft.
Maybe the pilot wanted to destroy something beautiful. Probably he just made a very expensive error.
