@JessEMshufflers well, you don't remember correctly, all seven crew were killed. Oh, and don't call the poster a 'dillhole', whatever the hell that is, without reading the description.
gummoboy333, I had to comment on this. Perhaps you should think before posting comments like this, especially when I knew the pilots and crew who parished as a result of the unfortunate incident. Insensitive comments like these show the type of person you are.
@dumdum212 there was no malfunction. The aircraft stalled after the pilot made an error and reduced the speed below standard lowest speed causing the aircraft to stall.
On 2 September 1995, a Nimrod MR2 XV239 crashed into Lake Ontario while participating in the Canadian International Air Show, killing the seven crew members
Before its flight, wasn't this aircraft on display to the public, letting people walk around inside, even into the cockpit? That's what I heard and wondered if maybe that was a cause to any malfunction.
@ horsenpony, this is not the ocean buddy. no wonder i had a hell of time trying to find this. toronto 1995 august 23 cne international airshow. 7 british aircrew killed when their nimrod plunged into lake ontario.
@MiZztAtY01811 Well that's stupid. By that logic you should never get in a car, train or ship, or live in a house because it might collapse, or come into contact with any human because they might murder you.
@blueb0g im never gonna go on a train. neva got in a ship so dont matter. my house cant collapse it was just built. n nobody guna murder me thats stupid this aint a horror movie ! df n im onlii 12 what u talkin bout
@MiZztAtY01811 But you get in a car? You realise you have a much, much higher chance of being killed on the way to the airport than on the plane? You realise that the chance of you getting on a plane and being killed by it crashing is much smaller than the chance of you being killed by your house burning down, or by being electrocuted by an electrical appliance?
@MiZztAtY01811 Exactly. Which is why you shouldn't be scared flying - that's my point. However you're evidently not intelligent enough to have understood my argument.
References to "banking" probably did not apply to the turn on which he stalled; he was turning back toward shore when he stalled, but it would have been on the subsequent pass that he would have done his wing-over, the highlight of the Nimrod's performance. The trick was to go more than 90 degrees, very spectacular. I think the turn was too tight, only one mile offshore (limited by the spectator boats anchored further out). Tragic piloting error.
This 1995 crew was on Breakfast Television on the Friday leading up to the air show weekend and they gave a tour of the Nimrod, it was either Jen Valentine or Steve Anthony, who was doing the Live Eye location stuff at that time in 1995. They spent about 3 hours intermittently with the RAF crew throughout the show
There's another shot of this from the opposite side of the crash which was taken from one of the sailboats. If anybody finds it, please upload it and post it in a video response
on this day we loose alot of good ppl, this air show and also that of the Nimrod 30 that we lost in 2006 :( RIP good servicemen. Lost but never forgotten x
i met the crew of the Nimrod at the shearwater international airshow the weekend before this happened.. they were funny and quite engaging and knew their stuff.. rip
Very few large bodied air craft have ejection seats - if any! The nimrod WAS the first airliner, the comet, when the windows blew out the public lost faith, they made the windows round and sold them to the RAF, they have been fantastic aircraft in their time, they play a silent role all year round they are Search and Rescue aircraft inpeacetime and did an invaluable job. You can't eject or bail from a Nirod because the tail plane will kill you anyway.
they weren't pulling out of a dive they were diving believing that the ground was further away, they did try to pull out of it when they realised that the lake was a lot bloody nearer than the instruments where telling them. My friend was ground crew and listened to what was happening on the radio. Also my ex was part of the nimrod display team around that time and I know that routine inside out - I watched them practice it often enough from my back garden. It was a whole selection of errors.
The Inquiry detenmined that the captain made an error of judgement in modifying one of the display manoeuvres to the extent that he stalled the aircraft at a height and attitude from which recovery was impossible. The Inquiry considered that contributory factors could have included deficiencies in the flight deck crew's training and in the method of supervision which could have allowed the captain to develop an unsafe technique without full appreciation of the consequences.
I saw this crash when i was a little kid and i remember my father (who is a fighter pilot) telling me minutes before the crash that this pilot is crazy. The pilot was flying this slow, cumbersome nimrod as if it were a maneuverable aircraft. Unfortunately the pilot banked to far resulting in very little lift which made the nose drop. The pilot tried to recover and was able to level out but had a lack in altitude. Its saddening that others had to be subject to a pilot pushing the aircrafts limits
it was a nimrod mr2 not mra4 the mra4 was due to be finished this year but the budget cuts caused it to be scrapped. My Dad was on this flight. Rest in peace
@LCBarnett95 god bless your dad as i mentioned i met them when they were at te shearwater airshow. they did the same manovre here and didn't have any issue.. they were an awesome crew and were very well mannered and funny:) and there was a guy even playing the pipes to welcome anyone who wanted a tour. god bless
i met the crew of the nimrod the weekend before at the shearwater international airshow. they were really funny&proud of their jobs. i dont believe for one sec it was pilot error that caused the crash what friends of mine stated to me that were at the toronto airshow from shearwater it looked like the pilot tried to avoid the ships on the lake when his engines failed.that makes them some of the bravest and unselfish gentlemen i have ever met and i will never forget them. RIP
i remember this crash on tv... the weekend before was the Shearwater airshow here at CFB Shearwater in dartmouth. i met the crew and had a tour of the plane and i asked them very bluntly how would they get out in case of an accident or crash and they said not to worry they would get out just fine and even chuckled about it... I took about 24 pics that weekend and the only ones that didn't turn out were of the nimrod. and they were in the middle of the roll. RIP
@daleksec245 I don't know, they just conveniently filmed it. And that there looked as to be no attempt at pulling out of it. It looked like a purpose nosedive to Earth.
@onlyonegazza I mean I laughed out loud because it didn't even look like there was even an attempt to pull out of the nosedive. It looked like it just went purposefully into the sea.
@carveriscool So are you saying it was suicide.? Read of one of the postings that says the aircraft stalled during a roll. It sounds like the pilot was going to barrell role it almost. It was quite risky given the size and age of the nimrod, however it is quite a manouvarable old girl. Unfortunately, it also sounds like they didnt have enough altitude to recover from a stall. If you think about it once an aircraft is stalled, you have to pitch the nose down to gain speed and recover
Unfortunately your synopsis is wrong. It doesn't pitch down with power and up without power. Ultimately the wings fly it so without enough airspeed the direction the nose is pointing doesn't have any say on whether or not it has enough lift to overcome gravity. The pilot executed the recovery perfectly. Unfortunately he just ran out of height.
@BakedTuber They haven't stopped building them they haven't been building any for years as this is an MR2, You're obviously confused with the mra4 which this isn't regardless of what it says in the description.
I remember this moment so vividly during my childhood. I still remember the previous day how Breakfast Television interviewed the people on that plane (British i believe) and talked about the airshow. It was because of those people on the plane, their excitement that I felt thru the TV, that I went to that Air Show @ the CNE with my parents. So random that I found this video, its tragic indeed as to how their lives ended. RIP.
@southsidedude101 yea need to chance title from ocean to lake ontario, i was at this crash i was 10 years old every one screaming he was going in the water about 30seconds before it happened.
@Gippard11 Why does this video have to be singled out, just cause your uncle was supposedly in it? Other video's are on here of airliners crashing with hundreds of people on board that get killed in the crash. Most people see it as a tribute to those who lost they're lives in an accident like this. I'm sure it was not meant to be put on here to piss you off, or a direct insult to your family. If video's were depicted as being that way towards people, then YouTube would not allow them to be shown
I've just found my RAF Cadet record book and discovered in the flights undertaken section I spent 9 hours on this Nimrod MR2 (XV239) a few years before it crashed. It was a great flight with some good memories. I have no idea if the crew on board then was the same as the crew when it crashed. But then what does that matter. They were all good guys at RAF Kinloss. RIP.
I remember watching a documentary about this crash, it was a pilot error he stalled the aircraft, however he did manage to fly it into the crash area ( lake ontario) thus being called a hero, i think there is actually a statue made for the aircrew of this nimrod
yeah, the RAF Nimrod crashed into LAKE Ontario..I was there...to tell you the truth, I knew he was going into the drink, it was almost like it was in slow motion...what I remember most is the thud of the plane hitting the water, you could almost feel it....
I remember that day as well. My father had taken my brother & I to Lester B. Pearson airport (what used to be the parking lot of McDonald Douglas) to watch all the planes for the air show take off. The lot was situated as such that the planes would almost take off & fly directly over you. I remember that very plane take off & fly over our heads as we sat on the roof top of my fathers car. I remember seeing some of the crew members through the windows. Very sad when we got home to find out.
The weekend before his happened they were in the Boston, MA area doing an airshow. I was 12 when it happened. I was very shocked about it as the pilot (co-pilot? i don't remember) happened to sit down next to me that day and chatted for like 20 minutes.
i was there, i was a young boy, but that shit gave me nightmares for years! was down by the lake tonight and thought about the crash, came home to youtube and was surprised to see theres a video!
I was in that plane the morning before it crashed, I was 11 and my dad took me to the static display area at YYZ. Then ended up watching it crash hours later. Remember the helicopters and smell of the jet fuel from the nimrod. The pilot was able to avoid the group of boats hopefully saving some lives.
September 2, 1995: Seven Royal Air Force crew members were killed when their Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR.2P stalled during a low altitude turn and crashed into Lake Ontario.
@ isaacanaya - MORON ! not fake at all... I was there when it happened. Google "nimrod crash CNE Toronto". It was at the Canadian Exhibiton Place Toronto AirShow. They were demonstrating evasive maneuvers and didn't go as planned. R.I.P.
The aircraft had been in service for 20 plus years and was merely part of the air display, It was Pilot error according to the report.. The Nimrod MR" which this is (NOT MRA4) ends it's service in March this year.
I use to work at Ontario Place and I was there that day. I remember people leaving the air show earlier than usual so I asked what happened. They said the air show was cancelled because a plane crashed. My understanding was that they were flying much to slow and close to the water and the plane stalled and slammed into the lake.
The local authorities concluded that the cause of the crash was pilot error. There was nothing wrong with the plane, just a bunch of overconfident British flyboys.
@thcia These where people. Seven of them actually that lived and loved and had wifes and children and cared. They didn't get out the bed that day and court this disaster. Maybe you will be near to a disaster one day and have to read cruel commentary about it like yours.
@arctree they spent the previous few days visiting sick children in Toronto and as people of our nation actually trying to make a difference to the world. Saddens me to see abuse and such comments, . When it comes to judgement day the bad people will have a hard time being accepted to the place upstairs .
@arctree Sorry for the loss of the crew of the Nimrod, but the pilot was negligent, and this caused the death of both himself and his crew. And I was there that day. I watched some manoeuvres, and returned to work. After about 4 or 5 passes, I heard a dull thud as the Nimrod hit the water.
@Wildboared Hmmm , not sure about that , American engines always seem to smoke more than British designs and I think are often noisier too - compare videos on here between , say a p47J Thunderbolt and a hawker Sea fury , approximately contemporary at 1945
Or in modern jets , F15E and Tornado .
My Wifes Dad worked on both for years at Cairo during WW2 , and says the US engines of that time were cruder , dirtier , but stood damage better than the British ones .
@zarquon53 If you look at any older military or civilian jet engines they all smoked heavily compared to more modern designs. And the RR Speys fitted to the MR2 were of course British but older design.
I was there with my kids. I remember this like it was yesterday. We were on my friends boat on the water. It went over my head 10 seconds before it went down
Sgt Richie Williams was a good friend of mine from the old air training corps days in bristol (2146 sqdn), been a long time mate, RIP, always remembered, never forgotten...
Let me just clear some things up here. It is a real crash. It did happen in Lake Ontario, just a few kilometres of the shores of Toronto. Unfortunately people did die in the incident. It was during the Canadian National Exhibition (C.N.E.) Air Show.
I dont need to see all the footage again but to confirm in one post what has already been said. This is a Nimrod MR2 It was from RAF Kinloss and had 7 souls on board, some of which were friends of mine all lost in the incident and it was at Lake Ontario Canada.
Bit harsh that Robbie.. It's just a clip form the TV which can be found on here pposted by several different people. Still a shame that it states it's an MRA4..............
i was there at the CNE as well. My grandfather was in the tower talking to pilot when it happened. he told me that his last words were about 10 seconds before they hit. "dam, sorry boys"
I remember seeing this.. lake Ontario dillhole. Not an ocean... anyways if I remember correctly no one was injured

exactly the same situation happened a few years later with a B-52
at Fairchild field. In this case however; credit to the pilot and airframe
for getting the wings level, but can't help feeling that full throttle in the
recovery was an error(full thrust nose down trim with swept wing). If
he had pulled the power off once level, the nose would have 'pitched up'.

The weekend before his happened they were in the Boston, MA area doing an airshow. I was 12 when it happened. I was very shocked about it as the pilot (co-pilot? i don't remember) happened to sit down next to me that day and chatted for like 20 minutes.

I was in that plane the morning before it crashed, I was 11 and my dad took me to the static display area at YYZ. Then ended up watching it crash hours later. Remember the helicopters and smell of the jet fuel from the nimrod. The pilot was able to avoid the group of boats hopefully saving some lives.

@ isaacanaya - MORON ! not fake at all... I was there when it happened. Google "nimrod crash CNE Toronto". It was at the Canadian Exhibiton Place Toronto AirShow. They were demonstrating evasive maneuvers and didn't go as planned. R.I.P.

The aircraft had been in service for 20 plus years and was merely part of the air display, It was Pilot error according to the report.. The Nimrod MR" which this is (NOT MRA4) ends it's service in March this year.

I use to work at Ontario Place and I was there that day. I remember people leaving the air show earlier than usual so I asked what happened. They said the air show was cancelled because a plane crashed. My understanding was that they were flying much to slow and close to the water and the plane stalled and slammed into the lake.

ryan88485 2 years ago
The local authorities concluded that the cause of the crash was pilot error. There was nothing wrong with the plane, just a bunch of overconfident British flyboys.
thcia 2 years ago
@thcia These where people. Seven of them actually that lived and loved and had wifes and children and cared. They didn't get out the bed that day and court this disaster. Maybe you will be near to a disaster one day and have to read cruel commentary about it like yours.

@arctree they spent the previous few days visiting sick children in Toronto and as people of our nation actually trying to make a difference to the world. Saddens me to see abuse and such comments, . When it comes to judgement day the bad people will have a hard time being accepted to the place upstairs .
Robsta1974 1 year ago
@arctree Sorry for the loss of the crew of the Nimrod, but the pilot was negligent, and this caused the death of both himself and his crew. And I was there that day. I watched some manoeuvres, and returned to work. After about 4 or 5 passes, I heard a dull thud as the Nimrod hit the water.

They smoke a lot because they are older technology, just check out any older military jets they all do it..
Wildboared 2 years ago 9
@Wildboared Hmmm , not sure about that , American engines always seem to smoke more than British designs and I think are often noisier too - compare videos on here between , say a p47J Thunderbolt and a hawker Sea fury , approximately contemporary at 1945
Or in modern jets , F15E and Tornado .
My Wifes Dad worked on both for years at Cairo during WW2 , and says the US engines of that time were cruder , dirtier , but stood damage better than the British ones .
Jets , I dont know .
zarquon53 8 months ago
@zarquon53 If you look at any older military or civilian jet engines they all smoked heavily compared to more modern designs. And the RR Speys fitted to the MR2 were of course British but older design.

Let me just clear some things up here. It is a real crash. It did happen in Lake Ontario, just a few kilometres of the shores of Toronto. Unfortunately people did die in the incident. It was during the Canadian National Exhibition (C.N.E.) Air Show.

I dont need to see all the footage again but to confirm in one post what has already been said. This is a Nimrod MR2 It was from RAF Kinloss and had 7 souls on board, some of which were friends of mine all lost in the incident and it was at Lake Ontario Canada.
