My Step dad is in the air industry and has met many of these pilots. They have had accidents before. I remember him saying that the dangerous part about their techniques and maneuvers is that they do things in unison and if the leader messes up, the potential of them all messing up is heightened. There have been even worse crashes in the past where they have all crashed. Bad news though.

Osna, I have to agree. I have been to my fair share of air shows, and while they are fun to go to, the lurking danger to all of us, and the residents surrounding is always in the back of my head.
