Airshow crash

[Visceral]

I can't find any information about when or at what airbase this happened. It might be old. Was this an engine loss? Aftermath scenes are shown, so its graphic.

SU-34 crash, I forget the details but the 2 crew members were thrown in jail and ordered to pay restitution to the families. But that's going to be like getting blood out of a stone.

Graphic? I guess so: your link goes to a sex site.

There are some classy ads below the video.


Great post.

Are you trying to say it shouldn't be shown? I mean it really did happen. It's not like ignoring it, or sheltering people from it makes it any less than a tragedy.

It is in poor taste. There is ZERO to be learned from it other than what happens when an airplane is flown into a crowd of people at high speed. If you are into seeing kids cut in half and body parts laying all over the place....then watch all you want. There are sniper videos posted by various insurgent groups in Iraq showing US forces being killed. Would it be cool if I posted them here?

Again, in poor taste.

Ya you're right, I was thinking of another show where they crashed a side by side version.

I stand by my comment though. It's on the internet because it happened. Would you have ever known other wise? It's not in poor taste, it's reality. If it had been set to some kind of music, or something f'd up like that, THAT would be in poor taste.

And no, as much as it pisses me off seeing video from the other side of our soldiers being killed, it being posted on the internet is not in poor taste, it's reality.

Kiddie porn is on the internet too.....

That's illegal though. Two totally different subjects. We won't even touch on the moral aspect of it.

Not trying to be belligerant, but I find the debate interesting.

While illegal, it is happening...or as you would say "reality" so therefore NOT in poor taste.

As much as I would like to feed your desire to debate (we could debate aircraft recognition skills ) I will end this here. I find posting a video of an airshow accident that depicts children who are cut in half in poor taste. I posted a video minus the gore and from different views. If the need to view dismembered bodies of children is acceptable, then rock on. Regardless of it being "reality" or "legal", it is has ZERO value. None..zip...nada, boo.....

I won't go to jail, or endure the disgust of pretty much 99% of the world population though for watching a video of an airshow crash though.

While hard to make an argument for showing things like that, sometimes people need to be reminded. Get people out of their little comfort bubble, make people think about others misfortune, make you greatful for your own.

By the way, I haven't watched it. I don't want or need to see it. I've seen enough of that stuff in my life/career, and am poised to see more.

I'd call that one hell of a strong reminder as to why we have such strict airshow rules regarding overflying crowds in the united states. I go to an annual flyin (the gathering of pilots that shouldn't be pilots I always call it) where there is always one or two dumbazzes that think it's fun to show off with different impromptu airshow routines that I know for damn sure have never been rehearsed and they do it within close proximity to the ignorant hordes that are watching and loving every minute of it. Maybe I ought to send them this link to remind them of whats possible even by pilots that are a hell of a lot more experienced then themselves.
Did anybody see the news report of the funny car that crashed into the crowd at (I believe) an NHRA get together a few days ago? I'm always amazed at how people never seem to realize just how close to danger they willingly put themselves for the sake of a better view. They need to put similar rules as airshows in place at funny car races.
