The
Sknyliv airshow disaster occurred on
27 July 2002 when a
Ukrainian Air Force Sukhoi Su-27 of the
Ukrainian Falcons crashed during an
aerobatics presentation at
Sknyliv airfield near
Lviv,
Ukraine. 84 people were killed, as well as an 85th who later died from injuries at a hospital, and over 100 injured. The crash remains the world's worst
airshow disaster to date

[edit] The accident
The aircraft, flown by two experienced pilots, entered a rolling manoeuvre with a downward trajectory at low altitude; having rolled upright once more the aircraft was still descending rapidly and the left wing dropped shortly before the aircraft hit the ground, at which point the crew initiated
ejection. The aircraft flattened out initially, skidding over the ground towards stationary aircraft, striking a glancing blow against the nose of an
Il-76 transport aircraft before beginning to explode and cartwheel into the crowd of spectators. Both pilots survived with minor injuries from the ejection and landed just feet away from the transport aircraft.

Ukrainian president
Leonid Kuchma publicly blamed the military for the disaster and dismissed the head of the air force, Volodymyr Strelnykov. The defense minister Volodymyr Shkidchenko sent in his resignation, but it was rejected by Kuchma.
On
June 24,
2005, a military court sentenced Toponar and co-pilot Yuriy Yegorov to fourteen and eight years in
prison, respectively. The court found the two pilots and three other military officials guilty of failing to follow orders, negligence and violating flight rules. Two of the three officials were sentenced to up to six years in prison, and the last official received up to four years. In addition, Toponar was ordered to pay 7.2 million
hryvnia ($1.42 million; €1.18 million) in compensation to the families, and Yegorov another 2.5 million hryvnia.

While the pilots were assigned the majority of the blame, which included accusations of attempting manoeuvres that they were not experienced with, one pilot had requested additional training at the airfield where the display was to be performed; this request was denied.

After the verdict was announced, Toponar said he planned to appeal, insisting the crash was due to technical problems and a faulty flight plan.
A Russian
Sukhoi Su-30 prototype fighter jet (a
thrust vectoring derivative of the Su-27) had previously crashed under similar conditions during the
Paris Airshow. That crash happened due to flight plan error, but did not result in any fatalities, due in no small part to the far tighter safety rules at Western European airshows which placed the display much farther away from the crowd.
This is dark, fascinating and deeply moving stuff. Anyone got any good vid links of other real life disasters/violent shit etc.?
