New footage emerges showing the moment the plane plummets into the A27

Dashcam footage has emerged showing the dramatic moment a Hawker Hunter jet plummeted into traffic on the A27. The incident took place during the Shoreham Air Show on Saturday afternoon as the vintage plane attempted a loop-the-loop stunt.

Warning: Some viewers may find the content of this video distressing

The footage was filmed from a car queuing along the A27. It shows the Hawker Hunter jet plummeting from the sky before a huge explosion is visible further along the road.

Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry has said it is now “highly likely” that 11 people have died; and there is an expectation that this figure could rise to 20.
