Air Crash At Shoreham

[poliphilo]

You take a veteran plane up into the air and make it perform party tricks over an area where there are houses and a major road and lots of people rubbernecking...and...and...

I don't know, but isn't it a pretty stupid thing to do?

It's not as though crashes at air shows were a rarity. It's only a few weeks since a stunt pilot was killed at Chris Evans' CarFest.

Air shows are one of the stupidest ideas ever come up with. They scare the crap out of me. Four of the Blue Angels killed in one (years ago) and the incident you talk about here...no thank you very much. Too many people can get hurt both in the planes and on the ground.

if the flyers were only risking their own necks it would be different- but the victims in this incident weren't even at the show, but just driving by on the coastal road.
