The Sknyliv air show disaster occurred on July 27, 2002, when a Ukrainian Air Force Sukhoi Su-27UB aircraft crashed into spectators at an air show in Lviv, Ukraine, killing 77 people and injuring 543. The pilots, Volodymyr Toponar and Yuriy Yegorov, survived with minor injuries, but were later convicted of negligence and violating flight rules and sentenced to 14 and 8 years in prison, respectively. An investigation found that the pilots were largely to blame for the disaster, although some blame was also attributed to the event organizers and military officials.learn more on wikipedia
