Someone needs to go back to flight school. Or, in this case, read the fucking manual.

Cynical Genius, that disaster was as haunting to me as it might have been to you. The aftermath, IMHO, was even worse for everyone involved. Here is a googlevid link to most of the incident:

Copy/paste if you have to, I didn't see any HTML rules or BBCode that I could have used.
CG, weird that I felt the same way when I saw this video. Many air-show disasters have been captured on video but the one at Liv is permanently burned into my consciousness. It still saddens me that so many people, not only the one's that were injured or killed by the crash, forever deal with their loss and pain but what the pilots of the SU-27 have gone through as well. Nobody at that airshow that day came though unscathed.

Almost a miniature re-enactment of the 'jet nails crowd' vid that gave me nightmares for weeks. (can't seem to find the link but it dips it's wing into a crowd as it loses control and slices about 80 people in half.)
I think the consequences of this jet hitting anyone would be somewhat diminished by comparison.
Very cool toy though!
