+Stary Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Just got news that two planes from polish "Żelazny" acrobatic group collided in air during Radom Airshow 2007, Poland. The pilots didn't make it. Hopefully no one on ground was harmed in the accident. Edited September 1, 2007 by CA_Stary Quote

+Stary Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 One of the killed pilots (Col. Lech Marchelewski) was actually founder & leader of the "Żelazny" group, and, yes, it was planned as his last acrobatics show before retirement. They planned to show some extra features to the audience... Irony, isn't it? Quote
Nesher Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 it is very ironic, a lot of times someone say "this is my last act" and they die doing it for the last time... :\ Quote
triplethr3at Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 as if he was destined to die in the air Quote

Caveman Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 did anyone catch that 3rd plane almost get hit as well... could have been much worse at least noone on the ground was hurt RIP <S> Quote
+Stary Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 did anyone catch that 3rd plane almost get hit as well... could have been much worse at least noone on the ground was hurt RIP <S> Yes, on film it looks like he was about to catch debris, but to my understanding of the acreobatics presented, he was going away from the spot where the collision happened. Anyway good there were no three... And I was to be there on the ground but got sick... Quote
+Dave Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 A terrible tragedy all around. May the pilots RIP. Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Just saw it then... goddamn... that's... nasty to say the least! Quote
TX3RN0BILL Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Yikes! From the looks of it one of the planes completely disintegrated into little pieces, could it be possible??? What planes were they flying? Was dreary weather too... may the pilots RIP... Edited September 3, 2007 by TX3RN0BILL Quote
