SkinsOrlando Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/pilots-killed-in-air-show-collision/20070902095509990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001 (Sept. 1) - Two small planes collided during an acrobatic display at an air show in Poland on Saturday, killing both pilots, authorities said. Footage broadcast on TVN24 television showed the two small red planes slamming into each other and bursting into fragments at the Radom Air Show. Both pilots died in the crash, Polish Air Force spokesman Maj. Wieslaw Grzegorzewski said. There were no reports of injuries among those on the ground; the television footage showed the collision happening well away from the crowd. Recovery efforts were under way, and all events planned for Sunday were canceled, Grzegorzewski said. Click the link for video. Is it me or does there seem to more air show accidents now then there were 10 years ago? Either that or they get more coverage now. Sad day for the families involved.

Cskin Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 The picture on the bottom left is the same one in the Richmond paper this morning. Looking closely, it looks the remnants of the plane seen under the plane not involved in the crash contains the body.....minus the head...of the pilot. Could just be light and angle variations.... but hate it for he and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
