Ouch. I see the sign says "Entering Vehicle Control Zone" . Yeah, right.

how did the photog have the presence of mind to continue shooting? I'm sure I would have been watching without the camera ready to go.

Those are some amazing shots....I would have been watching it instead of snapping pics I think.

Immediately reminded me of this shot.

Great shots - especially after you see the video and just how quick all that happens. The one with the fire shooting out of the engine as the plane impacts is awesome.

By the looks of it, the problem happened long before and he was just controlling the aircraft to a safe area. Looks like he stalled the aircraft and dropped it into a dive because of the people on the ground.

I believe I read that one of the engines failed.

Rather ironic that "Stayin' Alive" was playing on the speakers as it crashed...

It kind of takes me back to this day...except for the part with the pilot ejection...and the fiery crash.

The last image gives you an idea about how much kerosene it takes to fly one of those birds.
