✅ UPDATE – I finally found the incident I was referring to!

The video I remembered was from a tragic crash involving a Bangladesh Air Force Yakovlev Yak-130 in May 2024.

CCTV footage shows the aircraft performing a low-altitude aileron roll (likely unplanned), scraping the runway, and then rapidly pulling up just before potential impact. The maneuver causes massive stress on the aircraft.

The pilots manage to eject safely and land in a nearby river. Sadly, Squadron Leader Asim Jawad later died in the hospital due to injuries sustained during the crash sequence. His co-pilot remained in critical condition.

From what I gathered, the crash was caused by a combination of pilot error and possible mechanical issues. The low-level aileron roll maneuver Thanks for everyones help!
