Spectators watch in shock as phantom fighter jet crashes during Athens airshow

Comments

1. Junewex: that's some serious pilot training they got away with before that crash
2. Neon Talon: what a ridiculous way to end an airshow and i'm still trying to figure out why they were doing barrel rolls at 500 feet
3. Kianm: in awe of pilots' training that couldn't prevent something like this
4. Solar Specter: watching that again still gives me chills thinking about all the pilots who train to save lives and put on these shows
5. Echo Mantis: no excuse for a malfunction like that with all the safety measures they have in place
6. Ariagrant: that one was way too close to ground level, glad everyone got out okay
7. Ranaomar: That was way too close to where I was standing
8. Hollow Drift: That's a sobering reminder of the risks involved in these high-stakes performances. Had to stop watching for a bit after the crash
9. Solar Warden: crashed like that right after takeoff? not exactly what I'd call precision flying
10. Iris: thought that was a drill for sure
11. Ember Wolf: can't believe they were still flying Phantoms at an airshow... those things are ancient
