Idaho air show horror after 2 jets crash in front of frightened spectators​

Two jets crashed in midair at an air show in Idaho on Sunday, forcing the air base to be locked down.

Pictures from the scene show a huge plume of black smoke pouring into the sky following the crash, which happened on the second day of the air show.

Organizers, the Mountain Home Gunfighters, confirmed that the base was on lockdown in a statement posted on social media.

No further details have been given about the circumstances behind the crash or the reported casualty numbers.

It looks like one of the pilots eject chair parachute didn't open and landed on the burning wreck... Or it could of been the window from ejection. To hard to tell.

Better angle of today's midair collision in Idaho. Miraculous that all four ejected safely.
