Etihad A380 crashes at Al Ain show

The build up was huge, (so was the model) throttled up, started the take off role, veered left and slammed into an avertising board!

Did feel somewhat sorry for the driver but it couldn't handle the 5kts or so across the runway. I'm quiet sure if it had got airbourne the display would have been quit good.

Let's hope the real flying pig handles a little better.

Some stunning flying from the Aero's pilots, did anyone watch it?
