Close Call

Check out this pic! I've seen the video of this crash at an air show in Europe. It took place in the 80 or 90 I can't remember. Look at the close call I mean miliseconds from death ?

Maybe for the pilot but what about the people that plane crashed on? Not such a great close call in my view.

That looks even closer to the unlucky chumps that were previously enjoying the show. OUCH.

Or it's from the crash in Ukraine that killed dozens a couple of years ago?

Yep, killed 85 people in July of 2002. Pilot and back-seater were sentenced to 14 and 8 years respectively for violating flight rules.

In the document video they said, the pilot did the best to fly the plane out of the most crowed area, and only ejected in the last possible second.

Yes. I believe they found enough of the camera intact, but the same couldn't be said of the photographer.

Yenny, this was a horrible tragedy, no matter which side of the Iron curtain your on. Myself, I wouldn't have used such light or unconsiderate language in posting this.
