The plane had made a touch-and-go landing on a runway when it then climbed, veered left, and at about 60 feet above the ground dropped one wing, rolled over and disappeared behind a building, according to airport surveillance video cited in the NTSB report. The witness saw the plane slowly climb towards some buildings, its wings rocking back and forth before it disappeared behind the building, the report said.
