It was a highway, with cars stopped for a light.

This wasn't even the crowd. This was a highway nearby the airfield.

And, the Blue Angels fly over the lake here in Seattle during Seafair every year. They have log booms to keep the boats away from most of the flight path, however they cover enough area that they are flying out over houses and other things before they approach the centerpoint for the show.

If you read the article, it says the pilot survived. He is in critical condition. Unreal!!

I read that somewhere as well, then I saw something else that said that there was another crash around the same time...the pilot survived that one. So, they confused that accident with this one initially and mis-reported the pilot surviving.

So, now I really don't know for sure. I don't think it's possible the pilot survived this one.

And, now that more details are coming out...the Pilot Andy Hill (Former RAF) was pulled alive from the wreckage and is in critical condition. How he survived, I have no idea.
