How so?


This accident is anything but similar to any accident I ever heard
off...

Ramy


I does have something in common with the fatal accident in the Jr
Worlds in the UK a few years ago.
That commonality is direct finishes flown over places where people ,
and in this case vehicles, are.
It's all fine till you don't have quite enough energy, or you go too
low, then it is a big time event quickly.
We can only hope the driver comes out OK.
Boring cylinder finishes anyone?

the large wing parts left stuck in the truck reminded me of the Hawker
crash:

and what that jet would have looked like had it been a tiny bit lower
and taken the wing through the window.

This looks very bad. Pilot ok, but the truck driver in critical
condition.

Any news on the truck driver's recovery?

Did the authorities press charges against the pilot. He was apparently
detained at least temporarily by the police.
