Sad Weekend in Germany

No fewer than four crashes and six people dead. Horrid weekend. More including some sobering images here (in German only, couldn't find anything in English).

Really bad by the look of it.

PS Google translate works relatively well, if browsing with Google chrome it should prompt automatically

Horrid. The burnt out white/red one in the open field is a TB10.

The burnt out white/red one in the open field is a TB10.
They both survived (with burns). This was at Constance right after or during takeoff. The missed a tent with a group of skydivers by a few metres.
Incidentally I was overflying Constance last week (at FL 240 or so) and talked to my colleaugue about our experiences there. We both agreed that we would never fly there again. The grass runway is often soft and waterlogged (even on dry days) and has obstacles on both ends. Lots and lots of similar accidents have occured there before.
