NEODARK Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 (CNN) -- A jet flying in formation with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels precision flying team crashed Saturday during an air show near Beaufort, South Carolina, authorities said. "I was told [the pilot] was alive, but I can't confirm that," a South Carolina state trooper speaking on condition of anonymity told CNN. The officer said he and other state troopers were assisting the Marine Corps air station, which was putting on the show, by rerouting traffic around the crash site -- "which is said to not be around any houses -- so they can get the pilot out." Several hospitals said they had received no casualties. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/21/blueangels.crash/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdr.Instigator Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 The Pilot died on the crash.. That is just sad news. He tryed to get it away from homes but it was too quick after hitting the power lines he had almost no time to think about anything. He must have been going way to low.. My prayers are with his family and close friends and Team.. Rest in Peace.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawnDart Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Let's stay away from speculating what happened. The news media is already horribly inept at giving the public any kind of factual knowledge about air shows or how the Blue's perform.... Makes me want to punch the anchors and reporters in the face! (Sorry...) CNN just confirmed; the one fatality reported was the pilot. R.I.P and my sincere condolences to his friends, family and entire Blue Angel family (team)... :( [sigpic]http://www.virtualthunderbirds.com/Signatures/sig_LD.jpg[/sigpic] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Corsair 750D Case | Corsair RM850i PSU | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X CODE | 32GB Corsair DDR4 3200 | Intel i7-8086K | Corsair Hydro H100i v2 Cooler | EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW | Oculus Rift | X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty | Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB NVMe | Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB | WD Caviar Black 2 x 1TB | TM HOTAS Warthog | TM Pendular Rudder | TM MFD Cougar Pack | 40" LG 1080p LED | Win10 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 My thoughts are with the family and fellow team mates right now. A very sad accident. There is nothing much one can say when something like this happens. We can remember him as a fine airman and my heart is with his family and friends. Sad.
