Oh how badly organised does an air show need to be for that to happen?

Fucking awful.

There are vids all over Twitter from multiple angles.

Pilots would barely have had time to register what was happening. Which is good. RIP. 😕

It's awful, but I don't think we need to see people falling to their deaths though.

According to reports I’ve read from eye witnesses, there was another fighter in front of the B17 that the one that crashed was flying in formation with. Possible scenario is he was watching him for change of direction etc and they’ve both ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Here is a respectful breakdown of what likely happened, without watching people die.
