Hmmm... Now apart from the (in my opinion) completely inappropriate launch area (next to a railway line and power lines? Really?!) this doesn't look like any other flyaway video I've ever seen. On the other Phantom V1 flyaway videos the aircraft generally just picks an orientation (usually some flavour of full input on the right stick) and hoons it off into the blue yonder until the inevitable impact - sometimes climbing all the while, sometimes descending.
Whilst I'm sure this "pilot" didn't intend to tangle with the power cables he hit, nearly end up on the train tracks, etc, it doesn't "feel" like it was "just" a flyaway. Based on my experience of how mine flew when its compass calibration messed up this starts off looking very much like a bad/no calibration...
