Pictures of the a Hawker Hunter T Mk7 crash intp automobiles on the A27 highway during the Shoreham Airshow in West Sussex on Saturday, August 22, 2015. The aircraft was performing its routine and did a loop, but could not pull out before crashing.
Up to twenty people on the highway and nearby are reported to have died, although, miraculously, the jet's pilot, Andrew Hill, survived the crash and remained in critical condition in a chemically induced coma. It's not iclear whether Hill used his ejector seat, but the video clearly does not show him ejecting at any time before ther crash. YThe one picture of the crash on the ground shows the canopy canted to the left and what could be evidence of an ejection to the left.
