That’s what happens when you fly planes directly toward each other… :|

Typical Drudgereport User   September 1st, 2007 - 5:54 pm

I blame the liberals! That makes me feel good about myself!

Dan   September 1st, 2007 - 7:01 pm

Whoa.

Don’t know when this tragedy happened. But first thing people need to do is pray for their families going through this ordeal.

Much Kabasca

That’s just terrible. I hope people are thinking more of the families and those in the audience then the ooh and ahh of a plane crash.

Wasn’t far from three directly involved from the look of it.

Prayers to anyone involved.

YIKES!!

This is another consequence of global warming. I bet that after the investigation, we will find that turbulence due to heat will have been a factor. This is terrible. We must do something about global warming now! We must also pull out of Iraq NOW! Democrats are smater…… so elect them always! Follow fair and just democratic party leaders.

Viva Gore! Viva Kucinich! Viva the Workers Party!

Best wishes for the family of the pilot of the plane that got the worst of that encounter. The other pilot probably lived, but…

I hate to say it but the pilot that died did so doing something he obviously loved, you don’t become a pilot on a team like that because you are ambivalent about flying.

There are worse ways to die.

Still, wishing the best for the families involved.

I think you can see one of the pilots falling faster that the plane, near the end of the video.

mikeymike   September 2nd, 2007 - 1:04 am

since they were polish, they were probably flying backwards…

i will pray for them… to a rock!

Shark   September 2nd, 2007 - 1:06 am

Oh Boohoo!!!

These daredevil idiots try and make a living avoiding death for our amusement… When they die… Who’s at fault… DUH!!!

Laugh at them finally meeting their “master”, of trying to cheat death…

Just be glad these fools did not take many in attendance with them to the grave…

sad when this type of thing happens.

Fuzzynormal   September 2nd, 2007 - 2:48 am

Ummm, there’s no falling bodies in the video, only falling body parts. From what I could tell, the collision offers no possibility of the remains staying intact.

Meanspirited&h8filled   September 2nd, 2007 - 6:28 am

Just God-awful!

Yerku   September 2nd, 2007 - 9:01 am

Very sad. Karol and I send our prayers to the families and friends of the deceased.

Oh brother. This is sad. Dude, get a life! Only a total loser, in your case obviously a liberal one, would stoop to whining about political ideology while watching a completely unrelated air show tragedy.

Seek psychiatric help. There IS life beyond politics.

What do you expect from the Polish…………..

Dirty Harry   September 2nd, 2007 - 1:17 pm

Yeah, it was probably Bush’s fault. Or maybe Karl Rove planned it to divert attention away from Iraq. These nutty notions fit in with the other looney left ideas (Bush blew up the dams in New Orleans, we attacked the WTC, etc.).

[...] link from a Digg story (that I saw on Drudge first) of the Polish air show crash, that you can see here. It’s horrible. I looked at the post to check for typos, and the Google advertisement down [...]

Petrov   September 2nd, 2007 - 1:59 pm

Terrible. You can see just before the collision that one of the planes dips when it should be gaining altitude. Maybe the pilot’s hand slipped momentarily. That’s my non-expert take on it. And for those of you who take some sick pleasure from this, you have no respect for science and math and physics. An air show is a celebration of man’s mastery over the laws of nature. The same attitude that allows you to drive a car safely or undergo a life saving medical procedure. What happened here was a freak accident, yes because humans arent’t perfect, but have some respect. Than again, I’m not surprised by that level of knuckle dragging ignorance and vengeful fire and brimstone hypocrisy from Drudge’s readership.

VivaGore   September 2nd, 2007 - 2:56 pm

Bush and Rove probably did this to divert attention away from Iraq, Iran and 9/11 conspiracies. Pull out NOW!

Viva Gore! Viva Kucnich!

John Smith   September 2nd, 2007 - 2:59 pm

Check out this video (use the play and pause button) and you can see both bodies tumbling through the air … gruesome

This looks like the very same “pierced-heart” maneuver that the Italian team Frecce Tricolori (I think they’re called), did to the same result. It happened at Ramstein AB in Germany back in 1988.
I was there. It was horrible. And so are the idiots saying things like, “they deserve it”, or “what do you expect from the Poles”. You people are heartless scum.
These were PEOPLE flying those planes…not liberals!

Translator   September 2nd, 2007 - 6:07 pm

I agree with RoryVet about the heartless scum.
As far as the comment of the poster #4 (Pilot)goes, I know you tried. But it is not “Much Kabasca”. What you hear is “Matko Boska”, which is “God’s Mother”. The whole commentary goes somewhat like this:
“…here they will make a full loop, and Lech Marchelewski, as the leading one, will cut their flight “projector” (line, path pattern ?)…PLEASE, TAKE LOOK! GOD’S MOTHER! GOD’S MOTHER WHAT HAS HAPPENED!? CHRIST LORD, I CAN’T “SURVIVE” THIS…”
