Easy isn't in the equation when thrill seeker meets death wish. I'd imagine this guy thought about this for a good while, got his chance and took it. I could totally see some dude stuck in a soul-sucking airport job thinking "F it. My future is crap so..." I'm not promoting it, just saying I can understand how it could happen.
Just heard a radio news person describe it as "a small 80 passenger commuter plane". Saw some video too. That was not a small aircraft. I laughed when the radio said the pilot was "concerned about the rate at which it was burning fuel". I'm sure 2 big, full-throttled turbines at sea-level do burn it as an impressive rate. Lol!
Glad nobody else was hurt. Shine on you barrel-roll, airliner dude.
