Ukraine SU-27 Crash at Airshow

[jeffs1000]

Air shows...dummest idea that anyone ever thought of.

[WR1ck1e]

@jeffs1000 How so..?

[jeffs1000]

@WR1ck1e, planes flying in tight formation, nearly missing each other while performing loops, over crowds of people...

[MrSejmus]

Holy shit, that second from the end vid

[indirulz1234]

Didnt the pilot eject?

[themuffinman12345]

@indirulz1234 yup, both pilots survived, though 84 on the ground didn't. Imagine living with that on your conscience...

[fooltymjerk101]

Why does it always have to be a Su-27?

[TheBlackBeagle]

@fooltymjerk101 Personally, i think the SU-27 is one of the most agile fighters ever made,

but the russian sometimes overestimate it's abilities and turn off security electronics, so it can perform extreme air shows, which sometimes end with crash.

[cockmaster069]

Pay attention to your altimiter Mr. Jet pilot man. I hope this crash learned you a lesson.

[Elgastonable]

At 0:57 - 0:58 you can see somethig flying near the fighter.

There is some video of a UFO flying close to the plane, a cigar shaped one, taken from another angle.

Well, this video was taken from another angle and i see something near the fighter, i am not saying that its an UFO, but there is actually something close.

Just watch it.

[slipknooot96]

@Elgastonable its a bird 

[azeImonster]

@slipknooot96 bird is much more faster than plane ? :) rembobird . flashbird.sonicbird. :D:D

To the submitter: show some respect. Your tags suck.

[battingriver]

ONLY IN RUSSIA...

[copilot7777]

@elmsy1664 Coming from a negro-mexicanos country that didn't produce anything for 30 years! it's like Moroccans blaming germans for making bad MErcedes! HAHAAH! Your cars fall apart too. And your space shuttle is another nigger designed flying coffin

[omnadrener]

Just dont understand why people blame Russia for this I know Russia designed and made the Su-27 but its Ukraine's job to Keep its aircraft maintenance properly and keep its pilots in check!

[irynski]

@kocimietka82 I agree with you. It is still about a show of power, not a love of people! Haven't all Slavic people suffered enough at the hands of their regimes already?

[Mr1lk3r]

You say its Pilot Error, yes it is! But, i want see you Flying a Su27 and i want see stunts! Thats not so easy!

[mattxr2i]

Wow. That is just unreal.

[jazzbo1974]

Did the piolt survie i see a shoot ?

[filipedafonseca]

It looked like an engine failure... 00:59 you can see a black smoke coming from one of the engines...

[1123359]

the reason why this happens to most migs and russian su fighters is because these planes dont have enough thrust to weight ratioand they do not produce enough thrustto lift

[donky73]

@1123359 Ever looked at the stats of F15's, Su's or Mig's?? Try wiki or google first... they are very similar.

[kpdeathnote13]

Can I Know What Is The Link Of The Full Video.?

[LisaJJMerry]

Another spectator view of the crash is here

/watch?v=Vg6ClqvSevc

[saultman]

Don't see the Blue Angels doing stupid shit like that! The pilot should have tried a little harder to steer away from the crowd.

[jayc004]

when you see other videos of SU-27 crashes, they all are exactly the same. Plane stalls on pulling out of a dive. They are just not able to handle the manoeuvre.

A lot of people died, and when you see other angles, you see the plane cutting people in half.

Tragedy!

[BlackEagle352]

crashes like a toy hehe

[cj1419]

+300

destroyed harrier



[KardTricks]

To me looks like the jet didn't hit Anyone... Idk..

[drummingmassigermany]

@KardTricks

i dont know, not able to see, but a fighter, full of kerosine, i hope he didnt hit anyone, but thats not really to see...

(sry 'bout my bad english)

[irynski]

@drummingmassigermany 85 people were killed & 100's were injured. It it the most terrible air show disaster so far in history.

[palmcivet2712]

@KardTricks you'd be surprised, the full vid showed so much carnage...those images may haunt me forever.

[tireurVISION]

@palmcivet2712 Where can you find the whole video?

[babashhesenov]

85 people were killed, more than 300 injured. 2 pilots survived and went to jail including another 3 officers

[BassLoverDude]

challenge complete "Anti-Air Gun" "Take down 10 enemy planes with the Strela-3"

[198CharlesMartel198]

Traumatisong to be there poor people

[jc005e]

remind me to never ever go to russian airshows , there alway crashing lol

[BlackAces100]

He should've of just pulled up instead of turing the plane.

[Ggabor93]

how many people died there?

[Slam813]

@Ggabor93 70+ died 100+ wounded

[Ggabor93]

@Slam813 awful lot of

[RiTutorials]

Cause of crash is pilot mistake, did`t calculated altitude, and also failure of critical aircraft control system, system which adjust loading of pilot control stick. Each modern fighter has that system. At high speed the ratio of stick loading is more, system designed to prevent over G during the dog fight, looks like ALPHA went beyond max, literally he stalled the plane.

[Wesley95501]

Did the pilot died?

[137627947]

Pilot done a great job.have had the same happen in a F15.He had control for 1 second which he leveled out to prevent harm to people on ground.Great job for a out of control situation.We all no what caused it.better not to mention.

[godstomper]

:32 to :36 - Holy F---!

[Drew927]

those guys at :15 seconds didnt even flinch they knew somethign shitty had just happened but they also knew they were in a safe possition. kinda

[RuskiHomie]

i was there :(

[irynski]

@RuskiHomie I'm so very sorry to hear that! I hope none of your loved ones were harmed. I can't even begin to imagine how horrific it was. No doubt, you'll be haunted by it for the rest of your life. Take care.

- Цілую Вас міцно!

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

I certainly wouldn't want to be a pilot for a gouverment like that. It's also very irresponsible for the gouverment to not take responsibilty and to throw it on the pilots. Out of all the people that were killed they only set up a 2 million dollar fund for all of those families. That's not much. Shame on the Ukraine!

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

Their president said "the pilots were the most experienced, of the highest class." When a jet this size looses thrust, there's not much that can be done. It's not like a glider that can be steered away. It's not light, it's heavy, if there's no thrust it can't be pushed in a different direction. I just don't think it's fair that they don't keep their jets in good condition and let them wear out. Then put a pilot in them and when they fail and kill people say that it's the pilots fault.

[irynski]

@MarkyMilitaryFan You're quite right. The entire system there is corrupt & the pilot & co-pilot weren't happy about this manoeuvre the day before the air show. They asked to practice it again but were denied permission. A big cover up to get everyone else's arse out of hot water.

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

@Zach979 Yeah I seen the report. Althought it's been a while since I read it. Their Air Force chief and chief of their defense got the boot for this one. I'm not totally in agreeance with them putting the pilots in jail though for that long though. They even admitted that they can't afford to buy replacement parts for their aircraft and they say that the equipment might have been exhausted beyond its limits. They also speculate that there was engine failure.

[HermanDGerman]

russian crap 

[MrViktor1978]

а чо за херня пролетела возле самолета?

[TheNovoZocker]

FULL VERSION: watch?v=SZp70h9AC1A

[avaitionnerd111]

it looks like it lost power durring the decent

i havent read the offical report thought

[bmxLu2006]

it could have been a high speed stall. it happens when a jet has enough speed but due to the angle of attack of the wings, it looses lift.

[blimpstatio]

@bmxLu2006 I agree, that seems to be what happened.

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

If it was complete pilot error that would be pretty sad. Crashing a plane worth millions and killing innocent lives for carelessness is just horrible. I know that Russian standards might not be as high as other countries but surely they wouldn't give a plane to "pilots" they wouldn't trust with an asset like that and who really doesn't know how to fly a plane and then put them in an airshow lol. Under pressure they needed a explanation and since the evidence was destroyed they ruled pilot error.

[blimpstatio]

@MarkyMilitaryFan it really is a shame. They all died due to one man's careless mistake.

[th3sp0rk]

@MarkyMilitaryFan Russian pilot training standards are even higher than America.

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

@th3sp0rk Yes your right, I believe so. It wouldn't surprise me. Thanks for pointing that out. But I wrote Russian standards because I was thinking automatically->>> Russian built jet = Russian pilot, but it wasn't. It was a Ukraine pilot and that's what I meant to put. Thanks for correcting me.

[th3sp0rk]

@MarkyMilitaryFan Yea, I get what you mean. 

[FMorris308]

@MarkyMilitaryFan It's Ukrain, ybastard.

[omnadrener]

@MarkyMilitaryFan this is not russia its ukraine????????

[diabeticmonkey]

Fuck mw2. 

[blimpstatio]

@diabeticmonkey unrelated but yes, BLACK OPS!

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

I believe in the investigation that it was determined that something entered the engine causeing a power failure..causing the plane to lose velocity. In the video they circle the object that either entered the engine or hit the wing causing a loss of control. Did someone already post that? lol i didn't read all of the comments!

[5a1tY]

@MarkyMilitaryFan It was determined to be pilot error, although the pilot himself claims there were technical problems.

[blimpstatio]

@MarkyMilitaryFan I think this is true, but even so the pilot could have steered away from the crowd but neglected to.

[dragonbaas]

@blimpstatio he wasn't supposed to fly over the crowd in the first place

[rjdas97]

@blimpstatio If you actually pilot a stalled or "out of control" aircraft (in which that is) you'll soon learn that you cannot steer it away from anything. Sukhoi fighters such as the Su-27 and the Su-33 are also vulnerable to stalling due to it's shape. Notice the vapour atop the wing as it pulls out of the maneuver. That vapour usually means the aircraft is under stress (i.e. pulling high Gs), this shows that the pilot tried to pull out. When you're a pilot you soon learn this...

[sabbathian]

@blimpstatio He could not do a thing any more... he stalled, rolled and started getting power back, tried to pull it up, but he did not have enough power nor lift.... he lost control again at the end as a result of high angle of attack and rolled to the left...

[danccooke]

@blimpstatio by the looks of it the crowd was both side of the runway, maybe he was trying to get down the runway and avoid as many as possible, if he was totally negligent he would have just punched out.

[stahidalgo]

@blimpstatio so the pilot just wanted to kill everyone in front, thats a stupid comment.

[Tenjac]

@blimpstatio Well, I think he did as well as he could. There wasn't much he could do in that situation, as he had no thrust to maneuver with. He stayed in the plane when it was obviously doomed, which insinuates that he was attempting to steer away from the crowd. There is no other reason to remain in the aircraft.

[72fulcrum]

Na, ez odabasz! Nem igazán szeretnék egy ilyen balesetet élőben látni!

[blimpstatio]

@petpillow ...really?

[petpillow]

@blimpstatio ....Yes really

[derform20]

@blimpstatio jes

[falcon2160]

Too sad to watch. Pray for the lads families

[pscary1]

What happened to those pilots? They both ejected!

[OlderG0ds]

@pscary1

The pilots got put in prison for like 8 years.

[CombatArmsSN1P3R]

Seems that after he enters the roll one of the engines blows out, but it seems that he could of pulled out thou he turned towards the crowd. Unfortunately 85 people lost their lives and another 100+ injured due to this accident. (I do not know much about this accident nor aerodynamics, but I hope to become an Aircraft Mechanic, so don't call me stupid just because I do not know what actually happened.)

[OlderG0ds]

@CombatArmsSN1P3R

Official report says it was pilot error.

[mjufpn]

@OlderG0ds well yes because they fly above people which in airshows is forbbiten but I bet the pilot wasnt the only one lossing job.

[joliho101]

how many people died?

[lexlov250]

@joliho101 85 died more than 100 injured

[tramvaj12]

@joliho101 85 people on the ground, both pilots ejected... 

[derwolfistda]

After the roll in 0:04 you can see the afterburner smoke trail. It disappears suddenly in 0:06. But the pilot still needs full thrust to climb again ! It must have been an engine failure.

Although this manoeuver was flown close to the ground, with 100 % power the jet

would have managed to climb again. With only the fuel for the show and no weapon load the plane is a lightweight and no problem for the two mighty engines.

[KEEPitGREEN4201]

atleast we know our pilots have that over the russians for sure ..this almost never happens in american air shows because our military aviators are the best trained pilots in the world ..buts its sad to see who payed for the lack of expiriance that russian pilot had ..innocents

[ttiger5050]

@KEEPitGREEN4201

Bullshit..it happens all the time in America..Just because it doesn't happen in your neighborhood (podunkville?) does not mean that it does not happen.

Or, just Google it stupid

[FMorris308]

@KEEPitGREEN4201 Ukrainian . ur you dumbass isnt it.

[Ethernotificationer]

I live near Lviv airport...damn if remember time, when army export corpses in the morgue, until the ant run across the skin.

they do not break them covered, and body parts almost dropped out of the lot .....

[Apophisangel]

Alien Greys Shoot The Plane!

[yonaoimete]

Why did the pilot turn left to crowd ?

[Agent0range67]

terrorist attack

[MegaLibra1979]

bull shit

pilot error.......should have turned right instead of left also the plane went into a stall cause the plaqne to lose power you can yell that the pilot tried to pull up

[fidemafo]

@MegaLibra1979 you know nothing about this aircrash...this vidoes are all covers for apes...you never see the real video... you know nothing about the story...you never talked to the survivors...you know nothing about strangers...reality is not what human apes believe...eat bananas...

[ttiger5050]

@MegaLibra1979

Who died and made you the expert.?.You obviously know nothing about planes, jet engines or aerodynamics.

One more thing...if your text is underlined in red..then it means that you have misspelled the word..but being and expert on aeronautics you should already know that

Go back to playing video games douch boy.

Stupid..ASS.

[Snowythebear]

at 0.24 you can see the piot at the top of the screen cus he has ejected

[ontrous]

I guess those Soviet made fighters didnt come with a factory fitted pilots ejector seat as standard huh?

[bahrainTVchannel]

yes it's that one is GL this one is XL and no air bags LOL

[MegaLibra1979]

if you wnt to see the real version check out live leak ....it will make you think twice on making fucked up comments....the video shows kids bodies torn in half not to mention the bloodskid marks on the tarmack

[FMorris308]

@ontrous You mean F-104 with .... .

[ontrous]

The guy wearing a white t-shirt with a camera around his neck.... that was officially a 'WTF gtfo out of here!!' moment for him... we call that a 'shitting ones pants' situation... RIP to the pilot.. did the pilot black out or stale it or what?

[IAMLOST]

85 spectators died. The stupid pilots survived with minor injuries, they ejected a second before the explosion. They were later sentenced to several years in prison...

[PinheadV321]

0:32 how the hell did guy not shit himself when filming that... plane coming straight towards him but just swerved not far from in front of him

[LegoInc]

I had my video camera on 9/11 and I didn't shit my pants.

[PinheadV321]

Good for you, but this would of been worse as it looked to be going towards him at first.

[jaywongy]

at 0:32 it looks like an rc plane :P

[mlh8723]

Fucking hell, that must of scared the shit out of the people on the ground, jesus!

[DerMessermann]

over 120 ppl died.

[SC360]

they didn't, the two pilots died and that was it, 85 people died at a show back in 2002 from an SU-27 crash.

[DerMessermann]

85 - right. but the pilots survived and gone to jail.

[SC360]

Yeah and not only that the main pilot has to pay compensation for the spectators grieving families which totals up to £1.7 million in american dollars.

[MegaLibra1979]

not only that he got prison time in russia

[FMorris308]

@MegaLibra1979 Ukraine

[FMorris308]

@SC360 You thing he have So... Ukranian jystice, forget that this show whith this flights was resolved by... This Airport, this millitarys, this operators .....Which is never will happend in Russia..Sure pilot fuc in jail

[blimpstatio]

It does seem that many Russian jets could be deemed unsafe

[diveplane]

@blimpstatio it was pilot error not the jet

[AznDuD333]

@blimpstatio /watch?v=faB5bIdksi8

[MrDrogobych]

@blimpstatio What russians? this is Ukrainian



[newgeneral01]

@blimpstatio ur an idiot. like an american jet never crashed

[titandown]

@blimpstatio how would this look in 3d lol 1:10. too many ppl died though. =( and what is with the description of this video?...

[rampking1]

@blimpstatio In Fact a MiG-23 flight tested by a USAF test and evaluation squadron was "deemed" exactly that.

They were happy to finish the aircraft's evaluation because not one pilot wanted to fly it.

[blimpstatio]

@rampking1 no surprise there!

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

@rampking1 yes the Mig-23 Flogger was built during the cold war. It was built with skinny wings just like the Mig 21. It is speculated that they developed the wings like this to prevent defection. Along with some nice thirsty engines to prevent long range flights. Even rolling the jet too quickly could put it into an uncontrollable and unrecoverable spin causing a crash.

[rampking1]

@MarkyMilitaryFan Thanks for the reply.

When the FAA allowed that one privately owned two-seat MiG-23 to be certified to fly, I guess they never considered the recomendations of the USAF or the horrific experiences of the Indian Air Force.

WTF are they thinking?

I lost track of those two "civilian" MiG-27's... heard anything?

[MarkyMilitaryFan]

@rampking1 Hey no problem! Haven't been able to see anything with the digging I've done since your last reply. But I'll be sure to look through some old mag's of Airforces Monthly and Air Intertnational and the web. If i see anything I'll be sure to post it on here and send it your way.

[FMorris308]

@blimpstatio And what you want to said ...That are American pilots are sucs, and American intalegense are peace of shit.Who didn't cnow t .

[MrOllyK]

Nice pictures! Is it just me or do SU27's crash a lot?

[bulamoto]

jak widac piloci zdazyli sie katapultowac...

[madzia1508]

Bulamoto, to prawda, piloci zdążyli się katapultować... i zginęło 80 osób, w tym 19 dzieci, a ponad 100 zostało rannych... Podziwiam Białoruskich Pilotów, którzy wczoraj poświęcili własne życia dla innych (gdyby się katapultowali maszyna prawdopodobnie wpadłaby w domy mieszkalne lub obserwujących air show), należy się Im wielki szacunek....
