It's amazing the pilot survived this crash.. He is in a medically induced comma... Not in good shape, but alive.

I was shocked to hear he was alive too Clay.
From the look of the impact, that incredible.

Yes 11 people killed.
There was a lot of traffic on the road when it crashed.

A tragedy for sure.

What I can't understand is that the organisations charged with air traffic safety in many countries allow these shows to happen but want to regulate our little aircraft out of the skies.
Any time there is an air show you have large crowds and full size aircraft performing sometimes dangerous manoeuvres close to the ground.
A recipe for disaster if ever I saw one, as has been proven time and time again.
We are regulated out of the skies for something that might happen while air shows continue to happen with a proven track record of disasters.
