Spectators watch in horror as plane plunges to ground at Spanish air show



The pilot was reportedly killed Sunday when a vintage plane crashed near Madrid. Warning: Some viewers may find this footage disturbing.

Spectators at a Spanish air show looked on in horror as a historic jet fell from the sky and exploded into a giant fireball on Sunday.

A spokesman for Spain's Defense Ministry said pilot Ladislao Tejedor Romero died of his injuries after being transported to the series burns unit of Getafe hospital. Romero, 35, was an experienced pilot who also served as assistant to Defense Minister Pedro Morenes.

The aircraft crashed into a hangar and exploded in front of nearly 3,000 people gathered at Cuatro Vientos airfield just southwest of Madrid to see vintage aircrafts and aerial acrobatics. One of the spectators caught the crash on film.

Romero was flying a 1950s-era HA-200 Saeta, one of the first jet propelled planes to be manufactured in Spain. 
Ministry spokesman Alfredo Florenza said the cause of the crash is unknown.

The pilot is believed to be the only fatality, but Europa Press news agency reports many others were taken to the hospital for injuries related to the crash. 

A young woman who suffered first and second degree burns was taken to a local hospital, as was a 57-year-old man who suffered an anxiety attack. Another rescue worker suffered from smoke inhalation and received aid at the scene, the new agency reported.

setahu saya SU-30MKM memang tak ada hutang.
pembayaran dibuat secara berperingkat ketika kita order SU-30MKM itu.
pembayaran habis bila kita terima MKM yang terakhir daripada Russia.

Jetfuel burning.

not money but Palm oil trade!
10 years!
the Mig palm ouil trade is 20 years!

not all entirely palm oil trade.
tak silap saya about USD300mil value of palm oil.
yang lain semua bayar ngan cash.

not all, but the palm oil supply contract is delivered in 10 years time line!

cash memang dah awal-awal bayar penuh.
cuma tinggal palm oil barter trade.

patutnya sime darby or felda sponsor sikit.

so who will be the next defense minister ? will zahid retains the current post ?
will hishammudin be chosen again as Home minister ?

zahid can continue be the defense minister..while Hishammudin, i don't know..i prefer he switched with muhyiddin though..muhyiddin as home minister..hishammudin can get his old education minister job back..

oh noo..hishamuddin must not be put in education ministry again..too much flip-flop & ridiculous decision in his era before..dont jeopardize our youngster's future

he should be put into a more 'relaxing' ministry..menteri kebudayaan perhaps?

btw i fully support if zahid hamidi helm the defence ministry once again 

1 single dig,despite with his highspeed F88 rifle and his top-of-the-line plate carrier, won't win against 1000+ bamboo-armed indon mobs screaming "durka durka"

indon is like dothraki, cannot cross the ocean.

the way i see it, indon got no issue crossing the ocean they got a lot Makassar-class LPD

and their navy are well armed as well, from what i understand they got at least 6 sigma class frigate about to add 3 nakhoda class frigate maybe this year. They have about 10 frigate in total

TNI Joint Military Exercise 2013 - Amphibious Landing.

what is the function of Marines actually? looks the same as what army does..army can borrow transportation from navy to assault beaches..
