In '99 at Pomona, I was in the stands when Doug Herbert's blower
let go on the line. Mushroom cloud. I was sitting 20 rows up, no time to duck. Shrapnel found 800 ft away in the pits too. Luckily no one was hurt. Trying to recall if in that same event, during the opening ceremony, a veteran parachutist performed a "death spiral" too close to the ground. He hit a concrete barrier waist high and died. Condolences to the woman's family on this latest incident. |
