Associated Press
ROME – Italy's air force says a Eurofighter jet performing in an air show
south of Rome has crashed in the sea, killing the pilot.
Thousands of people gathered on the coast at Terracina watched in horror
Sunday as the jet completed a loop but then failed to get enough lift as it
approached sea level. It slammed into the water just a few hundred meters
offshore, sending up a huge plume of smoke and spray upon impact.
The air force said the body of the pilot, identified as Capt. Gabriele
Orlandi, was recovered soon thereafter.
An investigation was opened into the cause. The rest of the Terracina Air
Show, which was to have featured Italy's famed Frecce Tricolore squad, was
canceled. | W***n
