They have a footage, I saw on CBS. This crash happened a couple of days ago:
RADOM, Poland: Two pilots were killed performing aerial acrobatics at an air show in Poland when their aircraft collided head-on above thousands of spectators.
A Reuters photographer at the scene said the crash happened on Saturday after a three-plane formation fanned out and two of the aircraft slammed into each other as they tried to re-converge.
The stricken planes plummeted towards a wooded area at the edge of the airfield near the south-central town of Radom. There were no reports of injuries among those on the ground.
Pilots from 15 countries were taking part in the two-day air show, which was cancelled after the crash.
Also on Saturday, a single-engine plane crashed near a airport in central California and exploded into flames, killing six. The Los Angeles Times reported that they were the pilot, his wife; his brother and sister; and two nieces, one them aged five months.
They had flown from Santa Monica Airport to Kern Valley Airport, where the plane crashed upon approach.
The Lancair Columbia was consumed in a grassfire sparked by the crash in the Sierra foothills.
