Shoreham Airshow crash Shoreham Airshow: Footage of plane crash aftermath after 7 killed as police warn of 'more bodies'

This video shows the horrific scenes seconds after a plane crashed onto a busy road at the Shoreham Airshow today.
Onlookers rush between burning cars just seconds after the Second World War Hawker Hunter fighter jet smashed into the A27.
The plane - which was believed to be piloted by Andy Hill - is thought to have skidded across the road, killing seven people.
This video shows the road covered in debris with thick smoke billowing from cars.
One man can be heard shouting 'has somebody checked in the car' as people look for survivors.
Sirens can be heard from emergency vehicles as they desperately race to the scene.
It has now been confirmed that the pilot is fighting for his life in hospital.
Emergency services also say more bodies could be found at the scene today and tomorrow.
David Wildridge, who flew at the airshow today, spoke to the Mid Sussex Times about Mr Hill.
He said: "He is a highly experience pilot, well-known and well-loved.
"He is highly professional and it is totally unusual for this too happen.
"He was a Harrier pilot in the air force. They are the top RAF pilots - the best of the best."
Mr Hill, whose wife is also a British Airways captain, started his career flying on a University Air Squadron and later began flying Airbus passenger jets.
He is also an experienced formation instructor and display pilot.
Initial reports suggested he had been pulled from the wreckage and rushed to hospital.
