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.

This video is 20 years old and still stands as the all time worst tragedy video I have ever seen. There are better copies but maybe 50% better, this one isn’t horrible. The original was probably a VHS camcorder.
Someone got incredible burst shot photographs of the moment of impact too!
