Haven't watched this yet...but the other thing you should avoid is dioxin impregnated food and/or drink.

WTF were they doing that low to the ground? Looks like at least one of the pilots made it out.

The explosion towards the end of the video looks like the ejection seats firing

There's no such problem. But you have to watch that bad sushi.

It's that and a mix of other explosians. I can't tell wich one is punching out first but if it is the Forward seat then the back seater is a dead man.

I have never seen footage of this accident from this angle. I cant imagine what those people felt...

I seem to remember that both crew punched out and lived - so file it under yet another spectacular demonstration of the K36 seat...

Looked like the backseater punched out first. Makes you wonder how that stuff happens. Airshows around here don't permit the aircraft to fly over the audience at all.

Didn't see the video, is it a Lvov catastrophe with a Su-27 hitting the crowd?

You can make a search on this BBS, keywords "boroda lvov airshow pilot". It was discussed here after it hapened.

Their security measures were awful. But nevertheless here in Russia they cancelled aerobatic programm on several shows...

Why's that? I think you work on fighter seats (or something like that)

Hope they both made it, and that the folkls on the ground...died really really fast...poor batages

They both survived.
