also look how hard and short that landing was.  Gear should have broken on impact.

Not necassarily, that type of plane needs to land hard and fast, it's a stunt plane and it probably had very, VERY strong landing gear. As you can see on the video. It's a miracle the thing didn't get smashed to pieces, but hey, wierd things happen.

The depth of feild for the plane is also wrong, suggesting that something small was the subject.

Fake.  The rudder and horizontal stabilizer on this aircraft don't provide enough roll force to overcome the roll force generated by one wing.

If this type of aircraft lost a wing, it would spin out of control in a heartbeat.

post production editing designed to fool you into thinking its real by the thought that there was a person in the plane.  Most likely the end was a cgi replacement (the shine suggests it to me, too uniform and clean compared to the rest of the picture) w/ some blue screen work
