Based on the vid, just looks to me like jet was too low for that manoeuvre? You can see that the plan was to get quite low to the ground before climbing but hit the ground instead. On the flip side, can’t believe a modern jet with all its gizmos could allow such an error without all manner of warnings?
 
My apologies to my PDF friends for the shedenfruied moment that I had .... RIP
 
Fake News.
That was water.
Crash happened as pilot tried loop at much lower altitude than allowed under SOP.

Everyone is mourning for the Indian pilot, while Indians are blaming the pilot before the investigation results are out. If it were water, why didn't the other planes participating in the exhibition have the same issue? When there is an oil leak incident, the status of all aircraft should be carefully inspected, rather than making the pilot take risks for the sake of face or money. If a pilot realizes the plane is out of control in the air, death would be utterly despairing. Disrespecting the military is also one of the reasons why India does not gain respect in the world.
 
Buddy forget PAF aircraft, they celebrated PIA crash in Karachi.

Excellent point.

The reactions by Pakistanis to the Tejas demise and the Indian reactions to the PIA crash and other tragedies shows a serious civilizational & values divide. While Indians rejoice at every Pakistani and Muslim tragedy, Pakistanis act with magnanimity and kindness whenever tragedy strikes india, as demanded by faith and God. Indians don’t have such privilege for obvious reasons.
 
Update: Indian ariforce officers and staff who took picture with Pakistani jet all will be fired and inquiry has been ordered.

This has got to be a made up story - no one is that unprofessional to fire serving professionals(who take decades to train sometimes) over a photo.

Hence the reason, its not even wise to think that any Pilot will even an attempt to try any stunt at that height, especially Indians who fly Tejas once in a while.

But All of you know better, I have seen before, quick to blame Pilots,

Sorry to disturb your chain of thoughts.
