because they're all copying and reposting the same video to youtube.

Looks like it was a nice day with some overcast- folks are wearing thier jackets, and long arm tees. It unfortunate that something like this happens, but it is part of the attraction of an airshow. These pilots know the price of failure. An Airshow is about seeing brave men and women fly these machines that defy gravity. Sometimes the gravity wins. God Bless the Familes.

@bennylandron Why be so pedantic? A life was lost, and his team mates flew what they saw as a fitting formation to him.

@bennylandron There are many variants of Missing Man formations. This formation would be considered a Missing Man formation as it is the same formation they were flying earlier, but with one of the spots where a member of the team would be was left empty.

The close pass was what the "stunt" they were performing was. Afterwards there was a bit of a downtime between that and when the other four Trojans were supposed to pass. So, assuming that particular stunt was over, most people shut off their cameras.
