Ah nuts. One of these years we'll get an accident free season.

Aircraft came down in a built up area, with some news sites suggesting a small number of Civilians suffered minor injuries.

Re: Indian AF Display team crash
There is a video on Twitter of the incident, I won’t post it here as it’s horrific.
In short, their equivalent of the synchro pair were performing the mirror manoeuvre when they hit each other.... snapping one of the Hawks in half from the force of the impact!
