The pilot of a Hawker Hunter has been pulled from the burning wreckage of his plane when it came down at the Shoreham Airshow in West Sussex.

He is said to be recovering in hospital. It is not known if anyone else has been hurt.
I saw a post on Twitter saying 2 cyclists dead and cars hit. Probably too early to be certain of anything yet.

Anyone posting unsubstantiated or unfounded rumour on this incident is a ****.
Just had a look on twitter and there's so much contradictory reactive crap on there. Can't believe the things people turn into a 'look at me' opportunity. *****.

Could a mod insert Shoreham into the thread title? I only opened it because I had some time to kill.
Just about everything apart from the actual crash is going to be unsubstantiated this early. I don't see what is wrong with speculation.

No, there is everything wrong with posting unsourced information as "fact".

Nobody has posted anything as fact yet. Calm down and divert all that energy into positive thoughts for those involved.

I have cos I'm here, air show announcer has said there is damage to slip road from airport to a27, cars can't leave, no announcements yet on casualties
