From reader Steve G: Here is a video of a Canadian CF-18 fighter jet crashing Friday during practice for an air show in Alberta. Apparently, he lost his right engine at slow speed and very low altitude, stalled out, and planted it on the airfield in a big ball of fire right in front of the news camera. The pilot ejected just in time to get two swings in the chute before landing just outside the flame with no serious injuries.
