This is the best video I can find.

Seems like he was coming in from the back side and pulling up and
rolling inverted over the stands and then straight in...

That takes a number of control inputs for a tool jammed in the cables.
Or maybe intermittent and his attention was focused in the cockpit.
Strange.

Checked out one of the TV stations in Vegas and they are intent on the
carnage not the news.

Or control surface flutter, or a heart attack (he was 74?).

It will be a very short investigation.
An aircraft going in on the nose like that at 400+ MPH, there
isn't much left to inspect.
