On September 10, 2023, a tragic accident occurred at an air show in Börgönd, Fejér County, near Budapest, Hungary. A North American Aviation T-28 Trojan, a vintage propeller-driven aircraft from 1951, crashed during the show, resulting in the deaths of two people on board: a 67-year-old pilot and his 37-year-old son.

In addition to the fatalities, four individuals on the ground were injured, including three who suffered severe burns. These injuries occurred when the aircraft crashed next to a parked car, which caught fire upon impact. Video footage from the event showed the plane performing maneuvers before it suddenly descended and burst into flames.

The air show was attended by thousands of spectators who were evacuated in an orderly manner following the crash. The cause of the collision has not been officially determined, but the incident highlights the risks associated with air shows, especially those involving older aircraft.

People were meant to stay on the ground, the law of gravity insurers that. Greater chance of death when you break that law.

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- A small propeller-driven plane crashed during an airshow in central Hungary on Sunday killing two people and seriously injuring three people on the ground, police said.

The fatal accident at the Börgönd air show in Fejér county happened at about 3.20 p.m. local time and the cause was not immediately known. The pilot and passenger, ages 67 and 37, both died, while three people in a car near the impact site suffered serious burns and were hospitalized, police said in a statement.

Video footage of the crash online shows a small aircraft performing a rotation movement as it ascends and descends but it ultimately crashed and burst into flames. The organizers of the event reportedly canceled the rest of Sunday's show.

“The crowd of several thousand people at the site began to leave the site in an organized manner,” the police statement read.

András Cser-Palkovics, the mayor of nearby Szekesfehervar, wrote on Facebook after the accident that what is usually a “day loved by thousands … turned into a tragedy.”

“What happened today is a pain that is hard to put into words for our municipality, our entire city, and for me personally,” he said.

The pilot and passenger, ages 67 and 37,were performing at the air show because they were Hungary for attention.

If you look up a T-28 Trojan, it is a huge airplane. Very heavy as well.

Gravity was invented to help us find the things we drop. Oh, and we use it to make our balls chase us around like a pair of fuzzy gerbils after we've reached a certain age.
