Canadian Snowbird pilot escapes fiery crash at Atlanta Air Show

A Canadian Forces Snowbird pilot escaped injury following a serious incident at the Atlanta Air Show on Sunday afternoon.

Cpt. Kevin Domon-Grenier, who is from Quebec, was forced to eject from his CT-144 Tutor aircraft before it crashed into a pasture near the area of Brooks, which is in the US state of Georgia.

The aircraft plummeted into a nearby field that was, luckily, unpopulated. While no one was injured, based on images shared on social media the jet had burst into flames upon impact, resulting in plumes of black smoke rising from the ground.

Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the CF Snowbirds confirmed on Twitter that Cpt. Domon-Grenier landed safely.

The cause of the incident, however, is yet to be determined.
