Ok, I will put it another way. I am the controller in the tower, I can see that there are people in the undershoot and indeed, from other videos posted, people on ladders at the fence,directly on the centre line. I clear an aircraft to land,knowing fine that these people are where they are, regardless of whether I advise the aircraft or not, the aircraft subsequently approaches too low and as a result hits one of the spotters who as a result dies.

At the subsequent BOI are you telling me that the clearance to land from the controller would not be a contributory factor? I certainly would not be happy being the tower controller!

Are the people in the undershoot really aware of the potential danger and are you telling me that if they were injured they would not try to sue the asses of the airshow authorities??
