I remember arriving there after the crash we were there for the Rolling Stones concert.

That's so sad. Shane looked like he was much older than 24.

i was there...a weird thing i remember was that there was an over-the-top nervous woman in the crowd beside me and she was freaking out at every manoeuver before this crash...i said to my buddy "see - it's that lady's fault"

Look at Allison Smith. She looked really hot.

The last segment on how this news wouldn't have been possible without the invention of the video camera is a direct precursor to the world of today, where digital and cel phone cameras have turned virtually everyone into citizen journalists, for better or worse.

My parents went to Toronto on their honeymoon, and my dad wanted to go to this show, but my mom talked him out of it.

I was at this air show. It was nuts.

[soundwave14]

I remember when this happened I was 5 years old and was at the airshow. All I remember is the flaming plane falling in the water.

You must have been horrified? I am sorry that it happened.
