An American-made plane crashed yesterday near Székesfehérvár during an airshow at the airport of Börgönd. The pilot and the co-pilot, father and son, instantly died, while a family of four suffered severe injuries because the jet blew up near their car. Now a new video emerged of the accident, which was recorded virtually next to the crash site.
As we wrote in THIS article, a US-made North American Aviation T–28 Trojan jet blew up yesterday at an air show near Székesfehérvár. A 67-year-old and a 37-year-old man, father and son, lost their lives in the tragedy. Furthermore, a family of four suffered injuries because their car was parked near to the crash site. Three of them, a little girl, a man and a woman, were seriously injured and taken to hospital. Meanwhile, a boy with more benign injuries was taken to a hospital in Székesfehérvár by ambulance.
Now RTL Klub found a shocking video shot virtually next to the crash site. Watching the video uploaded on YouTube, it is clear that a greater catastrophe was just a hair’s breadth away. Provided it reached the ground just a couple of metres away, it would have hit many bystanders and multiple parking cars.

Pilot error behind the American plane’s crash
RTL wrote that the plane was made in 1951 in the United States. First, it served in the French Air Force and later in the Argentinian navy. In Hungary, this was the only one of that type.
László Madas, a forensic air operations expert, said that the cause of the accident was a pilot error in carrying out a roll. Analysing the footages, Madas believes the jet speed was insufficient to raise the plane after the ascent stage.
