I just saw on CNN that one of the Blue Angels have crashed into what looks like a residential area. That is all that I saw.

I just got finished watching the Thunderbirds fly as well, and one of their pilots struck a bird, bringing an early end to the performance. Not a lucky day for these guys I guess. :?
