I'm just wondering if anyone else was there and if anyone knows any news about it yet?

For those who are not aware, it was a big event for aircraft and model aircraft show. The wind blew in about an hour ago and collapsed one stand and blew the roof off the other.

Me and my 8 month pregnant wife had just left the stand that collapsed when it happened. It was chaos....

We know from friends that there were at least a few hurt, I believe a woman with a broken leg and kid with a broken arm....

I will be posting video later today with descriptions and photos. It was an incredible experience to see mother nature...Very scary also.




Mr. Lu

Was very scary yes, when everyone stands up infront of you and starts running and screaming, and you turn around to see another 1000 running away from the airstrip you wonder what the hell is happening....

is a helicopter falling from the sky? was there a crash? and then you see tents crashing down, the tarpaulins flapping in the wind and all you can think is I'm stood under another one... get out from under this now....

It appears they had the same thing yesterday at the old airport here in Santiago, however, it was mostly a model airplane show.
