    This past weekend saw another illustration of things going wrong at an air show after a vintage jet crashed onto a busy road, the death toll currently standing at 11.

    The West Sussex crowd was watching the jet attempt a loop manoeuvre when things went horribly awry and the pilot crashed the jet onto the A27. Here’s the BBC:

    Sussex Police said no-one on the airfield was injured but the pilot – named locally as former RAF pilot Andy Hill – remained in a critical condition in hospital, having been pulled from the burning wreckage.

    Whether the pilot activated his ejector seat was yet to be determined, ACC Barry said.

    He said the removal of victims’ bodies was likely to continue throughout Monday, and it was “quite possible” more would be discovered.

    The Hawker Hunter Jet was attempting what many in the know describe as a very difficult loop:

    Neil McCarthy, a friend of pilot Andy Hill, told the BBC News Channel that the loop manoeuvre was regarded as “one of the most dangerous” to attempt.

    He said: “If you don’t have the right entry speed, the right pull back on the stick, the G-force, the right gate height at the top of the loop manoeuvre, it can go wrong pretty quick”.

    The Civil Aviation Authority are assisting with the investigation and have promised the public updates as more information comes to light.
