First one is a non piloted plane, it was a computer pilot.

1st SU-23 crash was sheer determanation to stall it and send it straight down, not into the crowd.

Last one is Tokyo Airport, or Japan somewhere...

What? First one is a crash due to an automatic pilot feature malfunctioning. 6 people on board were killed.

The B-52 crash was done by a careless pilot known for taking risks with B-52's that he should not have taken, flew at airshows, always a showboater.

USAF Lt. Colonel Mark McGeehan tried to have Col "Bud" Holland grounded for his "hot dog" flying. When this resulted in nothing more than a reprimand of Holland, McGeehan ordered his flight crew not to fly with Holland unless he was aboard. McGeehan died aboard the B-52 that Holland crashed at Fairchild AFB on June 24, 1994.

Had the same feeling....

When you stop and think about it, we just watched hundred of people die, even without the WTC footage.

It really makes you stop and take a moment to think how fragile and precious life is.

The first clip was NOT non-piloted, Hawklore, it was a full plane. The pilot overrode the safety system for his low pass at an airshow and brought his engines to full idle. When he realized he was low on energy, he pushed the throttles to their stops, but it took too long for the turbines to spin up to producing power so he hit the trees. Most of the passengers survived, the fatalities were in the single digits.

Coming from someone whos been in a plane crash, thats a little scary. I hope this video wasn't made as a "Wow! look at the fireball on that one!" video.

Sadly, I believe it was. Its a little creepy.

I think we should see it everyday lest we forget.

Yeah, that Twin Towers crash didn't need to on here. That single incident over the others was a terrorist, murdering, deliberate act.
All the others were pilot judgement (stupidity in some cases) accidents.

X2Lee, you speaking for yourself here?
There are things that I'll NEVER forget as it is etched in my mind permanent. The Twin Towers incident I'll never forget, ever.

Edit***
Naw, sometimes it is best not to get saturated by an event. Seeing it over and over would tend to numb me and desensitize me to it. I don't ever want to get to the point that I'll ever think of that incident as somehow ordinary.
