This unhappy event is fresh in our minds now, but in decades, someone is going to pour over reports, and read:

Aircraft: NORTH AMERICAN/AERO CLASSICS P-51D, registration: N79111
Injuries: 11 Fatal,66 Serious.

and ask "What the heck?"

And perhaps:

"the airplane sustained substantial damage"

Is a bit of an understatement...
