Tragic Saturday in Italy. A five-year-old girl died after an accident MB-339 fighter crashes into the ground and explodes near Turin, in the north.
The pictures taken show how Italian hunt for the Frecce Tricolori, the Italian Army’s acrobatic patrol, breaks out of formation and flies at low altitude. The pilot ejects. Seconds later, the plane crashes to the ground, causing a huge fireball.
The flames reach the car of a passing family and kill a five-year-old girl. His brother is also seriously injured and his parents also suffer burns.
According to the Italian press, the possible cause of the accident is considered to be either a flock of birds or the fact that the fighter plane’s engine failed. Apparently they were flying from Caselle airport in Turin and were training for a show that was to take place this Sunday to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Italian Air Force.
The images show two groups of jets flying in a wedge formation as one on the far left begins to slow down and move away, eventually parachuting out.
