Rising Hegemon
As thousands watched in horror, a World War II-era fighter plane competing in a Nevada event described as a car race in the sky suddenly pitched upward, rolled and did a nose-dive toward the crowded grandstand.
The plane, flown by a 74-year-old veteran Hollywood stunt pilot, then slammed into the concrete in a section of VIP box seats and blew to pieces in front the pilot's family and a tight-knit group of friends who attend the annual event in Reno.
Don't we have one of these stories every year?

The National Championship Air Races have now officially earned Tea Party sponsorship. Prince Rebus and Haley Barbour will be in touch with them shortly.
Umm, not exactly every year. The last big crashes were in 2007-8.
As for relative damage, there have been worse accidents with racing cars. Probably the worst was when Pierre Levegh crashed a new Mercedes 300SLR at Le Mans in 1955, killing himself and eighty-three spectators. Another 120 people were injured.
Keep the fans at a safe distance, even if it means giving them binoculars to watch the action....
The masses are now being duly entertained by the sight of a machine, built over sixty years ago for death and destruction, fulfilling is deadly destiny upon masses wanting to be entertained by a man nearing the end of his life, himself only around ten years older than the death machine, and who, as a Hollywood stunt pilot, cheated death countless times for films which undoubtedly depicted death and destruction for entertainment of the masses.
George Carlin would've been pleased.
Teapublican presidential debates? I'm assuming brain death counts.
Soccer. Look at the fans riot and commit arson every season.
still not enough death in jet ski's
Second that motion, pansypoo... and way too little among drivers of those cars with those bass speakers that rattle windows wherever they drive...
