Crash at Airshow

Recommended Posts

Witnessed a crash yesterday at an Airshow here in Malta. It was part of an aero grand Prix. One plane clipped the other one tearing off its tail section and sent it plummeting into the sea killing the pilot. The other plane tried to gain stability and managed to climb a bit but the pilot bailed out soon after at what must have been 400 feet or less. His canopy inflates as he hits the water and was unhurt.

The pilot who bailed must have had superhuman strength because everything happend so fast. He would have had to unbuckle himself open the hatch and climb out and then jump and deploy all this as the plane was crashing.
