If an excavator could stare open-mouthed, that’d be what that looked like

So what the heck was the pilot doing?

Googling it, I see some social media posts, some news sites that I'm not familiar with, and some aviation related websites. I'm a bit suspicious but it could just be very new.

Seems like very lucky timing from the cameraman who has kept surprisingly calm and steady, and who is even zooming in and out for effect. Can we get captain dissilusion to peek at this?
