7 dead in UK airshow crash

The jet crash at the Shoreham airshow near Worthing, England, also left one person critically injured and 14 in hospital. The BBC has more.

Seven people have died after a Hawker Hunter jet crashed into several vehicles during Shoreham Airshow.

South East Coast Ambulance Service said the victims died at the scene, while another person is critical in hospital.

The plane crashed on the nearby A27. Witnesses said it was performing a loop but could not complete the manoeuvre.

Prime Minister David Cameron sent his "heartfelt condolences" to the families and friends of those who died in the crash.

Many bystanders caught footage of the descent and its aftermath. Lee Allwright searched for survivors at the scene, but every vehicle seems hopelessly damaged:

The Guardian has collected some of the videos being posted to the 'net.

Ray Kemp's illustrative footage shows the jet's loop from a distance.
