There's nothing funnier, I think, than getting some airshow disaster footage on video and rewinding it in slow motion. The crowd comes alive!

In fact, of the three airshows I went to in 2000, two of the events had accidents on days when I didn't go. A Harrier crashed into the sea about 500 yards from the crowded beach at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, for example, while I watched pointless air-wank nonsense at RAF Brize Norton which is about 200 miles inland. I wanted my money back, frankly, and haven't bothered to go to one since.

Still, theres always this site! Wow, those ex-soviets really know the meaning of entertainment!

Call me sick, well fuck you. It was listening to Slayer thats done it.

Maybe its cause I've been drinking for the last two hours, but I laughed my ass off here. And I hadn't even looked at this site yet. Fucking A, EKH, you're so fucking funny you kill me!

Airshow disasters aren't funny. My father died in one. I don't see what's funny about that.

Oh and I'm going on holidays. Bye everybody! I'm going camping in Gaspésie (Québec's East coast). I'll show you my tan when I'll get back! And if you are in Gaspésie during this time, say hello! I'll be the one in the pink g-string.

How about having all the pilots wearing puffy pirate shirts?

The only aspect I find funny is when the people that go to these things just to see a disaster end up engulfed in flames.

Which is also funny, being this also a disaster, I suppose.

I spent the last two weeks there, cuz that's where i'm from, so i was down there visiting family and stuff, and IT RAINED FOR 10 DAYS STRAIGHT!!! So not only were my camping plans totally shot down, but i have no tan to speak of.

So by all means, please have a horrible vacation

And say hi to my folks if you pass by Rivière-Au-Renard.

Oh come on KKS, you sourpuss. Doesn't the thought of a Su-27 ploughing into a crowd at 200mph at least make the sides of your mouth twitch?

Wierdo. It's not as if I said it made my pants twitch...

Seeing bodies get ripped apart & burnt and good Pilots die...is not amusing to me.

As long as you don't see the people it's very interesting (and not so distrubing) to watch. As long as you can separate yourself from the actual people and what they experienced it is fun to watch...but car crashes are better!!!
