It's a terrible accident (that happened during an air show/race), but the work that went into figuring out exactly what went wrong and where is awe-inspiring. Also a very interesting (but tragic) story from a human standpoint. Here's the video of the accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyWUTXuXjr0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyWUTXuXjr0
(No gore, but still: viewer discretion advised. Eleven people lost their lives and sixty-nine were injured.)
