AIRCRAFT HITS FOUR BUILDINGS AT AIR SHOW!



To old for LBN.


This is tough to watch. It just shows the dangers of attending these events. Amazing photo below shows great detail.
The pilot at low level had no control over his aircraft.


It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the air show and slams into four buildings. One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.

I can't imagine the horror of being upended in one of those things with the blue and __________ stuff raining down on me.

That said, it's hard not to smirk. Bathroom humor always gets me.

BTW, have you seen the movie in your sig? I really enjoyed it.

"In Poland, we don't ask, we do. Why problem make when you no problem have you don't want to make?"

And my favorite line: "God, I hate this crap!"

Aircraft crashes can be pretty nasty. Especially when one considers the combustibles on board. Peace. lmsp

I just can't stop thinking of this Jackass stunt.



The best part of this movie is, I think, Steve-O was completely sober and off of all drugs!

Not only the OP from Omaha Steve but each DU who added a reply ... they were all too funny and clever as well.

Thank you for the late evening chuckles.

Of course, I did get a chuckle out of it. But also I feel sorry for all the Freepers in the foreground - watching as their dining facilities are ransacked!
