This. Inverted stalled. You can see the pilot push a couple times once inverted. Lost too much energy and not enough time/altitude to gain it back. Hard to tell if the wing Jane was on stalled first or if the pilot tried to do a quick snap roll once he felt the break to try and recover. We'll never know. Very sad and my thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends. RIP.
