California airshow accident?

[enigma]

During a break in Monday Night Football, the local station just teased their late local news with video of an airshow crash in California today.

I searched the news sites and can't find any inf. Does anyone know what happened, and where?

Is it the Bushmaster crash at FUL? Do a search on Flyin Tony, he posted info on that over the weekend.

Yes it was. I got tired of waiting and just DVR'd (tivo) the news so that I could watch it this morning.

Ya'll will love this. The announcer said that the pilot had to be pulled from the burning wreckage, but that the co-pilot had EJECTED before the crash. LOL

The co-pilot WAS ejected during the crash . . . that is, he was found, strapped into his seat, outside of the cockpit. Even so, he was still obscured from plain view until the flames of the ensuing fire were extinguished.

Not ejected in the sense of the automatic seats with rockets and handles, but ejected like people are from automobile crashes.

Tony, being the grammer guru that you are, I'd think that you'd appreciate the difference between "was ejected" and "ejected". Believe me, this local TV station only ran the story (one or two days after the fact) because they had graphic video, there was no news value. They just needed a crash and burn story to tease the late local news. After listening to it again, I'm certain that the anchor meant that the pilot ejected, as in pulled the red handle on purpose.

Yes, indeed. That's why I emphasized that pesky little three-letter word (was) in my post. I thought perhaps that word might have been used in the news story, but missed. Since you've got the news program recorded, you have the luxury of reviewing what was said, and I certainly won't argue with THAT!

I guess this belongs in the "Things that p___ you off" thread!
