Close Call

[SD67]

That's pretty nasty.
This will not end well.

Picture looks fake...everything but the plane is motion-blurred.

Every time something out of the ordinary is posted in the inTARDnet someone arrives with these ridiculous fake calls. A nice example I came across a few days ago, check the comments:

The head of the Ukrainian Air Force got canned over this.

How's your Russian?

i think this is a different one than the one pictured in the beginning of the thread. look at the video. it's hitting the ground with the left wing dipped, and nose slightly high.

 the one in the pic, on the other hand, is hitting in a nose low attitude.

I followed one of the links and then wished I hadnt. Its heartbreaking to see the broken little bodies of children on the pavement.

This was a terrible event.

When the camera person walks past the pilot and his chute, there is a person in front of a prop transport who was in a lawn chair, cut in half.

Ugh.

I warned you guys.

Yeah, but there's no clear view of the actual impact in the video (thankfully). I'm guessing the image posted by Yenny was taken by a still photographer who just managed to get "the" shot. If it was a frame from a video, the video would probably be out there on the web somewhere.

I stand corrected.

Actually there is a section in the video where you can see the plane pitching into a nose down attitude as the canopy comes off. If the photographer was on the other side as this happened you could see how this pic could have been taken. Note how you cannot see if the left wing is still intact? Also if you look closely at the dust patterns behind the plane you can see it is rotating counter clockwise, so I'd say this was taken just after the initial impact before that aircraft completely broke up.

OK, I'll trade you infinite malevolent power for just one of your eyes.
