Re: 85 People Killed: 2002 SU-27 Sknyliv Airshow Disaster In Lviv, Ukraine
Best part is at 2:05 when the guy runs by and gives the pilot a "way to go fuckwad" pat on the back. Can't believe anyone here thinks the pilots shouldn't be held responsible and serve jail time.

Re: 85 People Killed: 2002 SU-27 Sknyliv Airshow Disaster In Lviv, Ukraine
According to wikipedia: On June 24, 2005, a military court sentenced pilot Volodymyr 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. The crew's main flight trainer was acquitted for lack of evidence.[7][8] While the pilots were assigned the majority of the blame, which included accusations of attempting maneuvers that they were not experienced with, Toponar had requested an additional training flight at the airfield where the display was to be performed; this request was denied.[9] After the verdict was announced, Toponar said he planned to appeal, insisting the crash was due to technical problems and a faulty flight plan. read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sknyliv_airshow_disaster |

The SU-27 has excellent maneuvering. Those pilots had a little too much vodka before the airshow.

this is what happens when you let a bunch of dumb ass clowns drive jet aircraft.. It is so sad to see that these people had to suffer because of the negligence of a dumbfuck coldwar era pilot who has no aviation skills...  |

The last bit of that with thte family and the little girl in red. That got very eerie. Amazing video. I've been to Moscow (not the Ukraine I know!) and I can confirm that, although nobody crashed a plane into me, those Eastern block boys are fucking nuts!!

5 and 8 years? For killing 86+ people. 150 wounded. And almost likely traumatized relatives to the victims. Well they got off scotch free, they should never ever be allowed to pilot anything.
