Yesterday Jul.26th during an airshow at the airport of Ostend (Belgium) an
aerobatics airplane of the Royal Jordanian Falcons after some maneuvers and
during some rolls went out of control and lost lift.
The pilot reved-up and put the nose down but was too low to successfully
recover.
The plane crashed at a 1st aid station killing 8 people (incl. the pilot)
while debris and burning fuel sprayed onlookers.
10 people were evacuated with heavy burns, 15 were moderately burned but are
not critically injured while up to some estimated 50 others received minor
injuries.
The airshow was cancelled immediately.
