This has to be one of the worst crashes at a UK Airshow for many years for deaths? Normally it's only the pilot that's killed..

Unbelievable!

Apparently the pilot is still alive and everyone there is currently stuck in the show as it crashed into the only way in/out on the A27

That is horrendous. You can't even imagine being sat helplessly in your car with your family/kids and seeing that coming towards you.

The amount of airshow issues seriously needs to be addressed.

That Dashcam image doesn't even look real

Like something out of a movie. Hope it was quick for the poor cunts at the lights.

Yeah the group of people running must have been terrified, imagine all the aviation fuel just exploding out of it like a wave when it hit the deck.

Always hard to judge if you're not in that situation tbh. Recorded in history, helps I guess?

A lot are saying that nervous laughter is a shock thing and quite common. I've never had it myself, but I guess it's an understandable theory given the circumstances.

I laugh at situations when I don't know how to handle them. Gets me into a lot of trouble but it's not really something you can control

I can only assume that something god awful happened to the plane? Otherwise you'd think he'd do absolutely everything to dump it in the water. Obviously it's impossible to speculate as to the reasons behind the accident though. That picture is surreal

Think he just fucked up. Did a loop, misjudged it.

Similar happened to a Spit pilot at Duxford but landed on runway and exploded. Grim.
