And now for something completely different ... BOOM

Ian Martens of the Lethbridge Herald was on the scene when a CF-18 fighter jet practicing aerial acrobatics at the Lethbridge airport in preparation for an airshow flew into the ground and exploded. Amazing luck and timing for Martens to photograph the jet what must have been a fraction of an instant before it impacted (a later shot shows the fireball after its crash). His photo also shows the pilot's ejection and his chute in the process of opening. The pilot is in hospital and his multi-million dollar piece of equipment is now a lot of blackened evidence waiting to be examined by investigators.

Update

Here's YouTube video of the crash. Note the song that is playing in the background before the crash.
