Spokane Couple Witnesses Reno Crash

Jenifer Passmore and her husband, Christopher, have visited the Reno Air Races eight times since 1994. They take vacations from their jobs – she works for The Spokesman-Review’s prepress department, he’s a civilian working at Fairchild Air Force Base – and thrill at watching vintage airplanes race across the sky. Those thrills turned to horror Friday, as the Passmores were 100 to 150 feet away from where a vintage P-51 Mustang aircraft crashed, killing the pilot and two spectators and injuring more than 50. “We had debris that came at us,” she said by phone from their Reno hotel. They were not injured, but “we thought we were goners.” “There was so much carnage”/ Carolyn Lamberson , SR. More here. (AP photo)

Question: Does this accident make you wary of going to air shows?
