If found to be correct, then it's fortunate for them they were both killed in the accident.
By far the worst air disaster through pilot error was the 2002 Sknyliv Airshow disaster in Ukraine when an Su-27 crashed killing 77 spectators and injuring 543.
Both pilots survived.
In 2005 a Military court sentenced the pilot to 14 years in prison and the co-pilot 8 years for gross negligence and violating flight safety rules. The pilot was also ordered to pay compensation of $1.42 million to the families, the co-pilot $1.18 million.
There is quite a lengthy clip on YouTube of the accident and carnage. It's totally horrific so i'm not linking to it.
One thing you can't blame the crew for was punching out too early! The Su-27 actually hit the ground before they ejected.
Can you explain?
