UK air crash toll could rise to 20
Disaster struck at Shoreham Airshow on Saturday, August 22, when a Hawker Hunter plane crashed into a busy junction of the A27, in West Sussex.
The plane involved was a 1950s Hawker Hunter, which failed to pull out of a loop and plunged nose-down onto the A27 as a crowd of people, including children, watched in horror.
Mr Barry also warned that the death toll could rise further still.
“We have now identified 11 people who we are treating as highly likely to have died in this tragedy“, Barry said, adding that the death toll could rise again.
The pilot remained in important situation within the hospital, and a crane will take away the jet wreckage on Monday.
Grimstone’s son Matt was killed while driving to play in an amateur soccer match, along with teammate Jacob Schilt and team trainer Matt Jones. A minimum of 11 individuals died after the aircraft plummeted onto a busy street close to the air present at Shoreham-by-Sea, a city in southeastern England.
“Some of this material could be very distressing for the families and loved ones of the victims, so we are asking for anyone with footage to please consider their thoughts and feelings before posting”, the statement said.
“It’s about 400 yards (meters) of the dual carriageway and extends into the airfield itself”, Barry said.
“There will be considerable work for us to do as a county council for the near future but this will not be at the expense of the first class services we provide West Sussex residents”. What that will uncover in terms of further recovery work is unknown and it’s possible that once the aircraft is moved that we will discover more fatalities.
