I saw that it was terrible.

Not good. It's a lousy way to die and many families that witnessed it will be scarred.

I've only been to one air show. In the 1970s, we were up from Georgia and I was visiting my grandparents' farm. The Blue Angels were demonstrating maneuvers in their new A-4 Skyhawks and we sat on a hill overlooking the airport, watching them fly patterns about 2 feet from each other (or so it seemed). The noise was fantastic and the pressure wave as they passed low over the hill was concussive. It was thrilling.
And to know that these people at the show, in the midst of that sort of exhilaration, are then dropped into the horror of watching these pilots fall from the sky in a fireball - the emotions are going to be very strong with them so yes, they too will be scarred. We sometimes forget that witnesses are victims also.
Please pray for the pilots, their families, and all who saw this happen.

Prayer for all involved.
Hate to see a vintage aircraft be lost that way.
