This is the shocking moment when a 1950s jet, vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed into a wedding limo during an air show in Shoreham on Sea East Sussex yesterday. Seven people were killed on the ground, 14 were injured, with four of them taken to hospital.
Former RAF jet pilot, named locally as Andy Hill, was performing a loop-the-loop stunt during the airshow infront of spectators at Shoreham Airshow. Unfortunately, he couldn't complete a manoeuvre and instead smashed into traffic on a busy road and burst into flames.
The rapidly disintegrating jet sprayed aviation fuel all over the carriageway engulfing a Daimler
wedding limo that was on its way to pick up a bride and groom around 1.30pm.
Miraculously, the pilot, who flies for British Airways, was pulled from the flaming wreckage of his jet and flown by air ambulance to hospital. He is reported to currently be in a critical condition.
