A retired Russian fighter jet flying in Yankee Air Museum’s Thunder over Michigan air show at the Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti crashed Sunday afternoon, as thousands of spectators, including children, watched in horror.
The two aboard ejected before the jet went down just after 4 p.m., but when the plane it the ground, it burst into a raging fireball, narrowly missing an apartment building adjacent to Interstate 94 in Van Buren Township and hitting vehicles but not injuring anyone. Emergency crews rushed to extinguish the flames. More

RUSSIAN TECHNOLOGY!!
WHY IS IT TAKING TENS OF BILLIONS OF OUR $$ FOR UKRAINE TO BEAT RUSSIA???
OH, THAT’S RIGHT…IT’S PAYOFF MONEY
It’s a miracle no one was killed. That’s a densely populated area.
I’ve been to shows there and at Selfridge ANG and that always entered my mind.
I think it was an F86 that crashed at Selfridge some years back but I wasn’t at that one.
DEAR FATHER GOD,
THIS WORLD IS A MESS, AS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNEW WAS TO BE THE EXPECTED OUTCOME
WHY DID YOU CREATE THIS HUMAN EXPERIMENT??
YOU ARE OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT, SO YOU KNEW WE WOULD SCREW IT UP
WE WERE SENT HERE BY NO CHOICE OF OUR OWN, WITH LIMITED INTELLIGENCE, IMPERFECT SINNERS WHO CANNOT COME CLOSE TO THE PERFECTION OF YOUR SON JESUS
WE WILL ALWAYS DO WRONG, YET ARE EXPECTED TO DO GOOD DAILY AND PRAY WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT’S COMING NEXT IN THIS WORLD OF PERVERSITY, RAMPANT CRIME, GREED, HATRED AND COUNTLESS WARS
I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE THRUST UPON THIS DEMENTED WORLD
WHY?????
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN
But how did the wing Walker with the tire make out?
Oops. Different story. Sorry.
^^^^ He made out alright. And I think the wing walker got laid that night.
And then there is this idiot

@JDHAST…GEEZUS, 8 BILLION PEOPLE, 10% COMPLETE IDIOTS, SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT
WE’RE FOOKED
So What.
Take a look at How many Canadian Forces Snowbirds have Crashed.
During COOF, they lost a Plane, Pilot, & Reporter flying from City To City to “INSPIRE CANADIANS” – Bird Strike on a 1960’s Wonder Woman Jet.
Sept 3/1989, they Lost 2 Planes at the CNE.
I was staying at the SAME HOTEL [The Constellation Hotel on Dixon Rd. Etobicoke] with a Hot piece of Blonde Ass. They were all in their RED FLIGHT Suits the previous evening Singing In The Bar pretending they were WW-2 Heros or Fuckin Maveric & Goose.
Next Day, 2 singles hit each other Mid Air.
It is a Dangerous Business & the Thrill is worth the cost.
Who the Hell wants to Die in an Old Age Home with Shit in their Diapers from their Balls up to The back of their Necks anyway?
CHEERS FUCKERS!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Nobody ejects at airshows like them damn Ruskies!
A real pilot (Sully) would have gotten that plane clear of residential areas before he ejected. Those clowns couldn’t bail out fast enough.
Ypsilanti is named after Demetrios Ypsilantis, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. I’ll be dipped, I thought it was an Indian name.
Should have stayed retired, eh?
