Boy this is absolutely heartbreaking to read. Not a lot dead so far, thankfully, but at least 50 injured, and we're not talking your standard cuts and bruises, we're talking severed limbs and such. I can't believe such a thing would happen, and from reading the article it appears the pilot actually saved lives by pulling up so he would hit the runway instead of the crowd. I've been to about 4 air shows at Andrews Air Force Base, and not once have I actually thought about the potential consequences if one of the aircraft were to hit the crowd like that.

R.I.P. to those who died and my thoughts go out to their families and friends.
Seriously? After all the times there have been crashes at air shows, it never occurred to you that this can happen?

Fairly dangerous thing to attend.

Less dangerous than riding in a car.
