Info as follows: “Just watched a Hawker Hunter fail to pull out of a dive at Shoreham Airshow, slam into the deck and explode. Not sure if he hit the main road and took other people with him.”

Daily Mail has it as their headlines on the UK edition.

7 dead so far. Pilot reported to have survived the crash

Hard to believe when you see the impact onto the highway.

The pilot began his maneuvers at too low an attitude.
It could be that his usual altitude was not sufficient because of humidity, and his engine may have had less power.

As the Brits say, he was boloxed all ‘round.

It appears the canopy is coming open on the jet but no ejection. Pilot evidently stayed with the plane. It's amazing that he survived.  photo air7_zpszrckgmn9.jpg
