I'm sad because of the loss of life, but I'm so appreciative that he managed to get the plane away from the stands...It'd be like Le Mans 1955 all over again, but worse.

The worst accident in motor racing history happened at the 1955 running of the 24 hours of Le Mans. A collision between a Mercedes and an Austin-Healy sent the Mercedes' engine, hood and steering assembly in to the crowd. Nearly 80 spectators died instantly.

Also, the Magnesium bodywork of the Mercedes...if you ever took chemistry, you know what happens.
my heart goes out to the victims.
an unfortunate incident, but, as I said before, it could have been much, much worse.
