Sussex Airshow crash

Damn

That footage made it look strangely... intentional.

In the event of an inevitable crash, most pilots would do everything they could do to avoid taking other lives.

Didn't look like he had enough altitude

Well I'd say that's the understatement of the day.

In the U.S. air shows have to be 1500?? feet from the crowd at all time per the FFA. In Europe not so. Aircraft can never be "over" the viewing area in the U.S. Remember the Italians crash in Germany years ago and a plane was flying towards the crowd and crashed.

That's a bad one this time too.

To me it looked like it stalled out once close to the ground.. It just fell out of the sky... Maybe hit some power lines or something.
