F-16 Crash
This is a video of a USAF Thunderbirds Arial Demonstration Team F-16 crashing during an airshow a year or so ago. The amazing thing is that the pilot ejected safely just before impact. Look closely and you will see the canopy blow off, the seat/pilot ejected from the aircraft, and the parachute deploy <100 feet above the ground. My guess is that he needed a new flight suit after this ride.... You can hear the other Thunderbird pilots calling over the radio to "knock it off" and stop the demo. To see the video from inside the cockpit. go to the A/V tab at the top of this page.
