gwydionA vA vintage plane crashed at a big air race in Nevada. At least 75 injured, likely more. At least 25 critically. There may or may not be twelve dead. There are conflicting reports.
The pilot was an 80 year old experienced stunt and racing pilot who had flown in several movies.
Edit: Pilot confirmed dead. (Not surprisingly). The plane was completely destroyed, so it will be hard to determine if it was mechanical error or pilot illness that lead to the total loss of control.
EDIT 2: Most hospitals involved haven't reported in yet, but the one that has says two confirmed dead.
