What could have possibly caused this?
The pilots told USA Today that they had tested everything except the dive before the stunt, and the plane losing its center of gravity was possibly the reason for the spiral. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
Apart from figuring out what went wrong in the stunt, the pilots and their sponsor, energy drink company, Red Bull, will also find themselves at the receiving end of a federal investigation as the Federal Aviation Administration said they had denied permission to perform the stunt. Red Bull had sought relaxation of safety norms for this stunt, which the FAA has denied on Friday, citing that it was not in the public interest, the aviation regulator told 7News.
