Navy pilot, war veteran, aerospace engineer, astronaut and first man on
the Moon Neil Armstrong was also an incredible test pilot, with 900
flights in experimental aircraft including the dangerous Lunar Landing
Testing Vehicle. On May 6, 1968, he almost died flying one. This is the
video of the crash.

The film—stabilized here by redditor Theodore Funkenstein—shows
the entire sequence of the accident, which happened just a bit over a
year before the Apollo 11 launch. The controls on his LLTV started to go
crazy at an altitude of 100 feet (30 meters) and the vehicle started to
bank dangerously. Armstrong ejected and landed safely but, according to
the post-accident investigation, he would have died had he ejected only
half a second later.
Every
astronaut hated this damn thing—a vehicle used to simulate the Lunar
Module that had a jet engine turned 90 degrees to imitate the Moon's
reduced gravity. Armstrong was particularly good at flying it.
