WARNING: Graphic footage.
Prior to the midair collision, the airshow was marketed as a chance to “re-live history,” featuring a selection of World War II aircraft on display and in action, according to Fox.
“It’s like literally as you looked up you saw the big plane and then you saw one of the little planes split off from the three and then as soon as it split off it’s like they just collided into each other and the little plane split the big plane in half. I honestly can’t believe that we witnessed that, like just standing here underneath it.” said Morgan Curry who saw the crash from a nearby parking lot, NBC DFW reported. “We were all just standing there like ‘what just happened?’”
Per normal protocol, the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board said that they will investigate the incident.
