The Ramstein air show disaster occurred on Sunday, 28 August 1988 during the Flugtag '88 airshow at USAF Ramstein Air Base near Kaiserslautern, West Germany. Three aircraft of the Italian Air Force display team collided during their display, crashing to the ground in front of a crowd of about 300,000 people. There were 70 fatalities (67 spectators and three pilots) and 346 spectators sustained serious injuries in the resulting explosion and fire, and hundreds more had minor injuries. At the time it was the deadliest air show accident in history until a 2002 crash at the Sknyliv air show that killed 77.

BOSTON - A driver was killed in a horrifying crash in Boston Wednesday morning as their burning SUV smashed through a chain link fence and fell 40 feet onto a road below.
It happened around 10 a.m. in Widett Circle near Interstate 93. The car was on fire when it went through a fence on the Massachusetts Avenue connector and landed on the exit 16 off ramp from the expressway, according to Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Burke. The chief said they have not been able to determine if the driver was a man or a woman. No one else was in the SUV. There's no word yet on what caused the fire or the crash.
"Basically, we just heard a crash, I thought it was just a crash maybe on the bridge or something. And then we come over here for coffee time and we just see a bunch of smoke," construction worker Moises Valencia told WBZ-TV.
"We were just looking at smoke. We thought the railroad tires were on fire or a building was on fire, something like that. It wasn't until the smoke cleared we saw something fell off the bridge."
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.

On Sunday around 1pm there was a major accident at the Rosignano Marittimo motorway toll booth, in the province of Livorno, in Tuscany: 3 people died and 6 were injured, including a toll booth attendant. The Fire Brigade announced that the accident involved 5 cars, but the dynamics of the accident are not yet entirely clear.
According to what was reported by the Corriere Fiorentino, a car arrived at the toll booth at high speed because the person driving, a German woman, had lost control of the car probably due to an illness: in fact, no signs of braking were found on the road. The car then hit other vehicles in the queue, which overturned and crashed into the toll booth. The dead people, again according to the reconstruction of the Corriere Fiorentino , would be the woman behind the wheel of the car, her husband who was in the car with her and a boy who was inside another car. The A12 motorway was closed between Rosignano Marittimo and Barriera di Rosignano.
