Poor quality video but at around 40 seconds in you can watch his approach and kind of see the crash.

Good find.

what the hell was he trying to do?

I just don't understand what he was doing. There was nothing stabilized about that entire landing.

From what I can see that was demonstration of extremely poor piloting skills/decision making.

Nice stabilized approach. Well, he almost made it.
