Unfortunately low flying to impress the assembled multitude is not a new thing. If we hear of a crash near a relative's/friend's house there is an automatic (usually correct) assumption as to the cause. A blast from the past I came across recently-
"Force Landed 21/02/29 Richmond NSW, after Striking a farmer during low level flight. The Pilot Sgt YYYY flew too low and struck his future father in law Mr ZZZZ and killed him. Sgt YYYY was charged with Manslaughter but was acquitted, and was reduced in rank and grounded. Later he regained flying status."
