Spectator killed in German air show crash

A private plane struck a crowd of onlookers shortly after landing at a small air show in central Germany today, killing one person and injuring 10 others, including two children, police said.

Hartmut Tuermer, a spokesman for police in the town of Gotha, said the prop-powered plane had landed just before 4pm (2pm Irish time) near Eisenach just before it hit people along the runway and then struck a children’s carousel before coming to a halt.
