Crash Kills Stunt Pilot at Fla. Air Show
TITUSVILLE, Fla. — "A lawyer flying a stunt plane at an air show crashed and died Friday before a crowd of spectators, authorities said.
"Eilon Krugman-Kadi, 58, of Gainesville, was taking the small military-style L-39 Albatross on a loop that he apparently wasn't able to pull out of, police said. The fiery crash happened on the opening day of the weekend-long TICO Warbird Air Show.
Phyllis Lilienthal, a 76-year-old working as a volunteer photographer at the event, said he watched as the plane crashed into trees just west of the airport.
"I didn't know what to think. I was dumbfounded," Lilienthal said. "People were crying. Some people were shouting, 'It crashed, it crashed!' It just gives you a sick feeling."
*I asked that question when they were advertising this upcoming air show. A wise man told me that people go there to see death-defying acts, and like auto racing, the more crashes the better.
People were crying?
