Did you ever hear of the principle of conservation of linear momentum?

What happens to parts of the aircraft if it clips a wing tip, and starts
spinning? It is certainly probable, and possibly even probable that some
parts of the aircraft could be flung in the direction of the crowd, if it
was spinning into the ground.

In this particular film clip involving the Air Bus, had this aircraft
caught his left tip while initiating a left bank at the airspeed he was
maintaining through the pass, the best guess I'm getting from those I
know who have seen the clip is an immediate nose down moment resulting
in ground impact of the aircraft.
In short, it had all the potential of being a real mess.
After viewing the clip myself, I totally agree with this assessment. It
was an EXTREMELY dangerous moment!
Naturally, there is no way to be absolutely certain of any reaction of
the aircraft, but my money says it was a very bad moment.
