19. You show your lack of aeronautical knowledge.
It is no problem to loose the altitude. The point is that the plane did it in a controlled manner while turning, rolling out at exactly the right time and maintaining perfect level control 30 ft over the ground for quite a distance. Airliners don't handle like fighter planes. They have a very narrow envelope of radical maneuvers than can possible perform.

Perhaps, an individual who had rehearsed the maneuver for hours could have done it. But, a low time, single engine Cessna jockey. Doesn't seem possible, not even by luck.
