Red Arrow crashes during Bournemouth Air Festival Footage

[alphakenny1988]

he didnt black out, he didnt eject because the plane was going towards houses so he stayed in the aircraft to steer it away.

R.I.P Sir

[BlocklandSpartan]

[mistahbtheoryz]

[BenGB1]

RIP You will be missed, Ill miss watching you fly as you live about a mile or so from where i live R.I.P. Flight Lieutenant

[1234drwho]

RIP Jon `Hero` Egging

[djmigzy]

@hunt1962 incase u didn't see the video clip there was another red arrow infront of him you IDIOT and who said nefing about top gun lol! Maybe show us all your crystal ball and give us ur version! Muppet

[b34thomas]

@djmigzy Bird strike is much more likely....

[hunt1962]

@djmigzy This isn't Top Gun idiot. Did you see him fly though any "jet wash"?? Life isn't a movie stupid.

[woohah]

Rip a true hero just hope the red arrows dont go same way concord went after the crash

[djmigzy]

He must of flown thru one of the other teams jetwash or had an engine flame out at a very low altitude with very little time to recover, but he still managed to save other lives by being an honourable pilot! Rip

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

Whatever happened to his ejection thingy?

[xIMrMaTTIx]

RIP.

[wtracingcouk]

he blacked out as he was pulling G in his plane. that is why he didn't ejected.

[RastaStarEnergy]

@wtracingcouk he did eject, but he ejected too late, he didn't eject in time because he didnät want his plane to cause any damage to human life.

[copperkipper1]

@wtracingcouk No he never, your crazy.. He clearly steers away from households to avoid them.. There are many reasons why it might not have ejected.. He is pulling knowwhere near as many G's as he normally is in that turn... His seat didn't work or he didn't have enough time to eject is all. Clearly a malfunction or system failure of some sort.

[bigs31uk]

@wtracingcouk it seems i cant have my opinion on this because my comment has been removed for some unknown reason but there is no way a pilot can black out because they are wearing suits that make sure the blood flow stays to the top half of there bodys to stop that from happening.at the speed of the t1 hawk there was no way he was going to land it there and then because of a emergency and he done his best to stay clear of any houses or people...my deepest sympathy to the wife and family..

[r1cw]

@bigs31uk you are referring to g-suits and in no way do they "prevent" blacking out. They help give the pilot an extra 1-2 g's of max tolerance.

[iljuha2008]

I would have banned all these festivals. Pilots do not have to pay a heavy price for extreme and the show. Eternal memory to the pilot, you will always in our minds

[sonykroket]

@iljuha2008

Ban all these festivals? Are you insane? You know how much goodwill is being created for the airforce with these festivals?

Pilots love doing it and are well aware of the risks.

I can't stand people who want to ban everything, why don't we stop breathing then?

[tomorosca]

@iljuha2008 This tragic accident did not happen whilst the reds were displaying, it happened during their recovery to Bournemouth Airport.

[GodOfTheUnderworld1]

you should remove this video if you have any respect, he should not be seen dying but living, flying one of the famous red arrows as one of the best pilots in the world, RIP Flt Lt Egging

[sonykroket]

@GodOfTheUnderworld1

If we think like that we wouldn't be allowed to watch anything anymore. Shall we ban car or war documentaries as well then?

How bout we ban internet?

And don't give me nonsense about not respecting anything.

[GodOfTheUnderworld1]

@sonykroket i suppose you are right, but seeing him like this isnt how people should see him is what i was getting at, and you do have a point and i agree with that, but i was saying it was disrespectful...

[sonykroket]

@GodOfTheUnderworld1

What people are seeing is reality.

Accidents happen and people die, it's part of life. I'm a big aviation freak myself and censoring things is not the way to go.

[SuperFSXVideos]

really is tragic, my family and I had watched the red arrows so many times that it was almost as if you knew them, was absolutely gutted when i heard.. R.I.P. Jon Egging, you will be missed incredibly.

[keytesofessex]

RIP  to A true son of England

[Jeannius19]

After the embarrassing scenes by the riots, by the scum of this country, it's the likes of Jon Egging, The Red Arrows, the RAF and all service men and women, that give me back my faith and pride in the UK. The Red Arrows, show the UK at it's best, professionalism at the very top of it's game. We should all be proud of Jon, his colleagues and all UK forces.

[slothgoonies]

Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging flying RED4 died whilst navigating his aircraft away from houses and pedestrians. His selfless act of bringing his aircraft down in a field away from a populated area demonstrates the courage of the Royal Air Force and Red Arrows pilots. This is a very sad time for the team members and family of Flight Lieutenant Egging and we send our deepest sympathies to them. ♥

[anonymous19841]

@mattyb15XD

No that is not scary at all. It is your imagination running riot.

Contrails?

Bollocks!

Skill like Flight Lieutenant Egging's are not gained by ridiculous superstition

[comadyman2]

R.I.P

[DoctoriOrdi]

Born To Fly.....

Artist ! Flt Lt Egging

R.I.P.

Thx for all the displays.

[bigs31uk]

every pilot in the red arrows take those highest possible risks to go that little bit further to entertain those who watch.ive watched the red arrows for around 10 years or more now at southend seafront and im sure gonna miss eggings and red arrow 4....may u rest in peace....many things happen to these stunt planes especcially with high g forces in turns after stunts are performed..engine failures /cut outs/bird strikes as black widow mentioned .any plane drops so sudden.engine stall?R.I.P

[overeighteen18x]

RIP

[BlackWidowZ93]

RIP John Eggin you will be in our hearts forever and you died a hero.

The crash is unknown what happened i still think there was technical faults with Red 4 or it could of been a simple bird strike.

[hondata10]

The poor gentleman fuck up.. he don't even realise his mistakes till the end... RIP

[WHaigh]

how can you 'like this' video people it is very sad what happen :( RIP FLT LT EGGING X

[PaddyKraut]

He commited suicide.., that what it looks like...

[abhiginimav]

@PaddyKraut your a disrespectful idiot....thats what it looks like.

[Bobobidodo]

@PaddyKraut Trolling on this kind of video really isn't funny...

[MrAltc5]

@TheBobbyred3 *Egging

RIP

[TheBobbyred3]

Ft Lt Jon Egging, only met you once, a true gentleman, RIP my friend, thought's with your family and friends

[TheBobbyred3]

Ft Lt Jon Legging, only met you once, a true gentleman, RIP my friend

[TheLASTOutlawdeadman]

I think they should CHECK the whole entire design before stunts and fix anything that could become a problem even if there is slight chance of malfuncions, in 2010 and this year there has been many crashed and i SALUTE to Flt Lt Egging you made your country pround RIP NO one will forget you

RIP

[jonny96]

@TheLASTOutlawdeadman This wasn't a display manoeuvre, this was a break to land. Its a standard procedure in the military done by all fast jets. The reds do it slightly differently as there are 9 aircraft to get on the ground, Thats why they are seen breaking left and right. Its a high G turn that slows the aircraft down. They only had one crash last year, and that was there first crash while practicing in a very long time! Red 4, you will be missed!

[TheLASTOutlawdeadman]

oh BUT STILL Flt Lt Egging will be missed



[jonny96]

@TheLASTOutlawdeadman Of course, very sad



[tommydaaibooi]

Rip, we will never forget you, toughts ate  with your family

[sweetypie000]

don't they have ejector seats ? looked like a smooth decent, either a sticking flap or........ ?

RIP

[TRREBEL32]

@sweetypie000 They do indeed, but we have been told he avoided crashing into houses if he ejected it is believed he would have gone into them. R.I.P a true hero.

[MadZGH05TLY]

I grew up watchin these guys fly by my house during the baloon festival...sadly that wont happen anymore ;( R.I.P

[whydontyoujustsignin]

kinda of the same as what happened to the Blue angel pilot of ours a few years back. Sad day, prayers with family and friends

[nighthawk006phoenix]

RIP Sir. I think leaving the video up is more of a mark of respect.

[Skarifik]

@nighthawk006phoenix I think maybe taking off the video and maybe upload a picture of the guy would be a good comprimise. Must be shit for friends and family to have to see this again.

[nighthawk006phoenix]

@Skarifik: possibly, but I don't think they would be watching YouTube over the next few weeks...

[quaresma7besiktas]

RIP from Turkey. Hope Turkish Stars won't have sth like this.

[BritainiaNumberOne]

:(

[TmPYisKlew]

Sleep tight bud, you were an inspiration to all. Shocking news, thoughts are with your family, friends and the RAF.

Rest in peace.

[Mrchrisbutch]

Very sad

[planecrazynl]

R.I.P Lt. John Eggin , may you find the peace in heaven were you was fighting for on earth.

[lukeyboyf1]

RIP red 4. 

[TheTazzi4]

R.I.P RED 4 you lived a short life at aged just 33 your life was just starting, and only being in the Red Arrows piloting for a year, your wife will miss you and she will tell great story's to your unborn child, my greatest sympathy to your family.

[Jeorney]

RIP Flt Lt Jon Egging and condolences go out to his wife, family & friends.

[tempest46]

R I P RED 4

[ErikJSlot]

Fly with the angels, Red 4 ....

[airwoman22]

no he is dead sadly it said on the news aircraft error they used to be harrier pilots so its not a piloting error its aircraft he did not eject because he was near houses so he dint eject so it didnt crash into the houses

[TheAddz131]

rip to the pilot



[TheRanger586]

Rest in Peace Flt Lt Jon Egging, You've done your country proud! :'(

[dansnow1982]

anyone else notice the cloud shaped like a skull that comes into view as the camera pans round after Red 4 goes to the horizon???

[TheTazzi4]

yeah it looks like the top half of the skull @dansnow1982

[rodbobthebrit]

@dansnow1982 Oh yeah, in the top right corner. That is so creepy.

[TheTazzi4]

@rodbobthebrit it does just a bit

[bobsurgranny]

@rodbobthebrit whats creepy?

[sharla82]

How can some people say "he steared the plane away from people" when it clearly show the plane drop down in astraight line with the smoke on !. More like the pilot blacked out like the Blue Angels a few year ago

[airwoman22]

@sharla82 the old blue angels pilots died doing a loop they stayed in formation with the leader and crashed

[jonny96]

@jonny9519 Very sad, I grew up in Scampton, Lincolnshire! Red arrows very close to my heart! Flt Lt Jon Egging, Red 4! You will be missed! Lets hope the government don't mess with the Red arrows as part of one of there cuts, keep them flying as Jon would have wanted!

[I4MJ05H]

@Sarge600 yes it is you dipshit. it was all over the news. have some respect. you sound like the kind of dick who will make jokes about the crash and probably make a parody out of some computer game. RIP Jon Egging

[I4MJ05H]

@jonny9519 he died. it was the first crash in 33 years in the red arrows



[djrealplay]

@sarge600-realy? Are you mental in the fucking face? RIP Sir.

[ibanezrgt220]

Such a shame RIP and god bless you and your family. A very sad day!

[Sarge600]

Folks this is NOT the Jon Egging crash footage...

[jonny96]

@Sarge600 Yes it is

[jamiehasnomercy]

apparently he has passed away!

[danielroofer]

Pilot avoided houses and crashed, there are rumours that he ejected at the last moment after steering his plane away from a residential area but sadly his death has now been confirmed. Video footage suggests this is a fault with the aircraft and not pilot error.

RIP and my thoughts go out to his family.

[maffygreat]

@jonny9519 nearby residents found his body in the river with what was described as "horrendous" injuries and was dead on impact

[maffygreat]

RIP Flt Lt Egging, you did your country proud and we wont forget you, i think this should maybe be removed as a sign of respect to the pilot and his family and fellow red arrow pilots, please

RIP 

[grandaduk3]

@maffygreat In full agreement RIP Red 4



[bigs31uk]

@maffygreat its very understandable u would like the video to be removed but this isnt a graphic video and u can only see the plane dropping to a lower altitude behind buildings lets just be thankfull that is all we see....would be nice to see the red arrows pay respect and name a red arrow after him....sure gona miss red arrow 4 and eggings at southend seafront next year...RIP

[maffygreat]

@bigs31uk sorry i just didnt think it was very respectful, no harm meant.....rip

[TheSoundDesign]

@maffygreat Do you know what went wrong with the plane?

[chainsore]

why did it crash was it engine failure ? RIP the pilot if its true hes dead

[jamesere2k10]

Everyone needs to know, that the pilot didn't eject in time and has been confirmed dead. R.I.P John Egging

[karn54]

@jonny9519 he has been prenounced dead sadly

[SwiftJet101]

R.I.P Jon Egging/red 4 you are a hero for many many many many people all thoughts with his family including his wife who i think is eight months pregnant i hope your child will grow up to be like you Jon except from your death part you are like a super hero in a jet we would all tjurn back the clock so you wouldnt die isnt that right guys. R.I.P :( :(

[Isle07Man]

UK Mod confirmed the death of one of gifted aviators from the READ ARROWS team :

Red 4, Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging known as EggMan

Find out the official statement at the British Forces news website:

All support and sympathy to his loving relatives (partner), close friends and colleagues in the UK Armed Forces

[ninjawinja1]

how can people like this??? like really would you like it if it was your dad??

[CastleAnthraxx]

@ninjawinja1 If you mean the 'like' button - it doesn't mean people enjoy people being injured and killed in crashes. It means they think the video was good useful or worthwhile in some way.

I 'like' watching the news - doesn't mean I like the fact children are starving in Africa. It's the same idea here.

[ninjawinja1]

rip im sorry to say he has died ;-(

[vicjoaid]

Terrible!! :(

[Wonkabar007]

Shocking! I thought Hawk jets never went wrong.

[Philogc]

Very sad day for the worlds best display team, my thoughts are with the airman's family, friends and the red arrow team.

[SwiftJet101]

R.I.P forever Jon egging/red4 :(

[daslimshady1]

I saw this :(

[ZeroTrackAttack]

@jonny9519 Unfortunately it's now a confirmed death. Hope this isnt the end of the arrows. :(

[TheTazzi4]

R.I.P Jon Egging you will be missed, one of the best pilots ever to fly an red arrow, you did your country proud, you will be missed by family friends and many more, my deepest sympathy for his wife who is 8 months pregnant and his loving family.

[pipskip5]

BBC News stating MOD have confirmed the pilot Jon Egging has unfortunately died. R.I.P. Jon. Terrible loss and condolences to family and friends.

[BawsJp]

RIP Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging

[SuperTalleyho]

looks almost identical in nature to south carolina crash by blue angel. pilot grey out from over g. dont know if the arrows use g suit or not.

[jonny96]

@SuperTalleyho Yeah they use full G suits, it does look very similar but lets wait and see.

[GTFaz]

His wife is 8 months pregnant.....very, very sad.

[Isle07Man]

One of the Darkest day for the UK

According to the mail online and printed back eccairsportal, one of the Red Arrows has confirmed now "Away"

According the position of the final formation, it seem to be Red 4.

I , and many others ( I 'm sure), send our best wishes of support to the Red Arrows team and relatives...

We make always proud and confident for daily representing and achieving on behalf of us around the world....

[MIKE1234789]

RIP Flt LT Jon Egging

[SwiftJet101]

It's goin to tell u

[JackkCinema]

i was walking through throop when he crashed, he was about 20m off the ground, and the sound was imense, then he disapered behind a Tree, and i couldnt see him.:(

Hope he is ok..:/

[m0ogy]

Very sad day for the Red Arrows

[GTFaz]

Check my first post, he DID die. Very, very sad.

[SwiftJet101]

Brave men and women they are if I was in his shoes I would eject as soon as it started to go down. Hope he is alive...

[samosammo123]

@SwiftJet101

I would do what he did, not eject and control the plane away from houses, civilians.

[mike666x1]

brave guy :( hope he lives



[SwiftJet101]

Cool just watching the news on the edge of my see trying to see if he's alive are u an investigator or something?

[GTFaz]

@SwiftJet101 No, not an investigator, just someone who knows a few people. Honestly, the situation of the pilot and his family is heart breaking stuff...

[richa16389]

They havnt confirmed the pilot died but there was no ejection from the plane, and they would have said if the pilot survived and there keeping quite so most likely there telling the family first.

[SwiftJet101]

Does anyone know if the pilot did die,what plane in the fleet was it like red 1 and so on and who the pilot was

[GTFaz]

@SwiftJet101 I do, but can't say. It wasn't the female pilot though....

[GASSUCK]

@SwiftJet101 THE DETAIL IS ABOUT TO GO LIVE!!

[GTFaz]

I am afraid I have it on high authority that the pilot didn't survive. I am not allowed to say too much else but you'll all find out some pretty sad stuff in the next few days......He DID eject, but too late and hit the river bank with force. He died a couple of hours ago in hospital. He stayed in the plane to ensure it would not crash into surrounding houses but in trying to save other people's lives, he lost his own. RIP.

[GASSUCK]

@xxmissbutterflygirll - the news on the jungle drums is bad!

[xjames118]

Lloyd Bridges directing from control tower.

[MyJu42]

Thankfully someone with a real video and real footage, hopin the pilot is ok, these guys have pure skill!!!

[LiamStroudy09]

@MyJu42 He's dead man :/ It's absolutely gutting. :s RIP Flt LT Egging, for you shall always be young! We shall remember them!

[TheFlightLog]

@MyJu42 he died

[alienboy1996]

@MyJu42 sadly the pilot died :(

[alexskylarking]

@MyJu42 Sadly not this time.

[Beats101]

Really really hope he's okay, but doesn't look promising! :-(

[jonny96]

They haven't released anything on the pilot yet, i believe it was Red 4 from what i heard. I hope he's ok, didn't see an ejection though! Hopefully he got out as it went below the tree line!

[MultiFlashforward]

@jonny96 jonny, just watched bbc news, they said members of the public who went to find him saw the ejection seat and the parachute in/on the river, and the pilot was lying on the embankment ont he other side, so thankfully he did eject :)

[jonny96]

@MultiFlashforward Lets hope thats confirmed! Thanks for the info, it must have been a bloody low ejection!
