Houses are on fire. (http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN2122401820070421)
One witness, Fred Yelinek, told CNN the jet went down in a high-density residential area and debris hit at least one house and cars, but there was no sign of injuries to people on the ground. He said there was a "huge fireball" at the crash site.
I'm a big fan of these guys. I used to see them practice every day, in Pesnsacola, FLA.

I hope the pilot was able to eject and is fine. I have always been 50/50 on these flight shows. I think its amazing at what the planes and pilots can do. At the same time I never understood why they did them. They are very dangerous and one false move and the planes can crash.

I think it's fine if they want to push themselves and their planes to the limit. But they should only be allowed to do their stunts somewhere over the dessert out west. There is no way they should be near any high density residential areas. Why should anyone on the ground be put in danger?

It sounds like the pilot didn't make it, but nobody on the ground was hurt.
I agree, I'm really surprised they are allowed to due these manuveurs anywhere near residential areas.
