This Day In History



Air-show accidentally burns spectators!
This Day in History

About this accident-

On this day in 1988 an air-show was held at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Three jets collide in the air killing 3 pilots instantly, it burned the spectators killing 30 of them and injuring the rest. 

The jet that caused the collision was led by Lieutenant Colonel Ivo Nutallari, the Lieutenant told his team to attempt a crossover move. The Lieutenant miscalculated this move and his jet collided with two more jets, the three jets exploded in the air spraying jet fuel over the spectators. 

Germany then banned air-shows for 3 years. Now they are allowing air-shows to happen again but the jets have to fly away from the spectators.


L.O- To develop something that go on the radio. 
This disaster was probably on the radio, I did find many news articles on this.
