Seven killed in Shoreham Airshow when a Hawker Hunter crashed into the road

#shoreham #airshow #hawkerhunter #sussex People had gathered to watch and enjoy the Shoreham Airshow on the seaside of West Sussex when a Hawker Hunter military jet lost control, failed to come out of a loop and crashed on the busy road killing seven people.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 23 August 2015.

The aircraft was participating in the airshow on the southeast coast and it hit several cars and created a fireball to send thick black smoke billowing into the sky. From a footage of the crash it appears that the jet was performing a loop maneuver high in the air. It banked up steeply, turned over but was unable to complete the loop in time to avoid hitting the ground. It ploughed into the bushes by the roadside.
The plane had hit the A27, a major road that runs along England`s southeast coast. Spectators were kept at the airfield until around 7:00pm and the second day of the airshow was cancelled.

The explosion and fire happened as a concert was on in the Formosa Water Park in Taipei and the sudden accident left over 500 injured with around 80 serious with over 40% burns. At the time there was neatly 1000 people in the crowd and many of them fled in their swimwear.

The injured had to be shifted out of the danger zone in inflatable rubber dinghies which were converted to makeshift beds.
