an aerobatics aircraft survives the loss of one of its wings. An example of outstanding airmanship and 'Falling with style' by the pilot. Most pilots would not be able to react fast enough to survive such an unusual event. The engine power of the aircraft involved was an important factor in that it it was capable of enough thrust to offset much of the downward force of gravity as long as the pilot had the skill (in this case) to counter the spin caused by the loss of one of his wings.
