The pilot at low level had no control over his aircraft.
It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the air show and slams into four buildings.
One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

I actually witnessed something like that once. It involved a chinook helicopter though. And it was a four or five seater that was supposed to be more or less stationary. And when it was blown over it went down the side of a hill.....and there was one guy inside. Thankfully...it wasn't me. He was hurt to some minor extent. And since it was at a firebase in Vietnam I wonder if it qualified for a purple heart? It was about like friendly fire, wasn't it?
