The deadliest air show disaster in history. The plane crashed during an aerobatics display, killing 77 people and injuring 543. Both pilots survived.
Following the disaster, the pilots stated that the flight map which they had received differed from the actual layout. On the cockpit voice recorder, one pilot asks, "And where are our spectators?" Others have suggested that the pilots were slow to react to automated warnings issued by the flight computer.

Every time I see this I think of the kid in the sunglasses, innocently at an air show watching some planes, then gets to witness a plane crash that takes out an entire crowd beside him.
Why couldn't I have been that lucky?
