Steve,

Sorry for multiple posts! Maybe the 3rd one will be the charm. All I meant to say was, "airshow

I saw a video of that event. I had no idea any promoter was stupid
enough to allow spectators to mill around the course like that.
Reminded my of the WRC rallys in Portugal back when the super-fast cars
were running. Many spectators killed, standing inches from the cars.

Expensive mistake, and a real tragedy.



The promoter did not allow it. The rules were posted for all and said
stay at least 100 feet from the track. those people who were killed
and injured were with in 5-10 feet of the track due to their own
stupidity. The complete fault in this case lies with the spectators.
