Sad times :(

BBC News 24 have just stated that a so called "eye-witness" reports seeing the smashed canopy of a Hawk aircraft - nothing further than that & no speaking to this person.

They also reported the pilot's condition as SERIOUS, as Pete said I hope he or she is ok & pulls through.

Didn't open the link but the sky news app says it was an ejector seat error... That doesn't sound good. Head first in to the roof?! Ouch.
