German Airshow Accident Kills Spectator

A crop-dusting aircraft being flown at a German airshow has been involved in an accident that has killed a woman watching the event, and injured at least 15 others.

Video of the accident shows the aircraft departing the runway to its right at an aggressive rate (looking somewhat as though either a brake locked up or a tire failed) before impacting a nearby attraction. The accident occurred near the German town of Eisenach, about 95 miles northeast of Frankfurt.

A 45-year-old woman was listed as having been killed by the aircraft's impact while the 35-year-old pilot was listed as badly injured. Additionally; a 14-year-old girl was also reported to be in critical condition, as a result of the accident.

The aircraft involved was reported to be a Zlin Z-37 Cmelák (Czech for "Bumblebee"), and is also known as a LET Z-37 Cmelák. The aircraft is an agricultural aircraft manufactured in Czechoslovakia.
