Small plane crash at air show in Hungary kills 2 and injures 3 on the ground

Police say a small propeller-driven plane has crashed during an airshow in central Hungary killing two people and seriously injuring three people on the ground

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- A small propeller-driven plane crashed during an airshow in central Hungary on Sunday killing two people and seriously injuring three people on the ground, police said.

The fatal accident at the Börgönd air show in Fejér county happened at about 3.20 p.m. local time and the cause was not immediately known. The pilot and passenger, ages 67 and 37, both died, while three people in a car near the impact site suffered serious burns and were hospitalized, police said in a statement.

Video footage of the crash online shows a small aircraft performing a rotation movement as it ascends and descends but it ultimately crashed and burst into flames. The organizers of the event reportedly canceled the rest of Sunday's show.

“The crowd of several thousand people at the site began to leave the site in an organized manner,” the police statement read.

András Cser-Palkovics, the mayor of nearby Szekesfehervar, wrote on Facebook after the accident that what is usually a “day loved by thousands … turned into a tragedy.”

“What happened today is a pain that is hard to put into words for our municipality, our entire city, and for me personally,” he said.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag admits his side "switched off" as they slumped to a devastating 2-0 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday.

After the game, Ten Hag insisted he was generally satisfied with the performance and blamed a lapse in concentration for his side's downfall. "I think we had a solid performance," he told TNT Sports . "I think we controlled the Game . We performed very solid, controlling the Game in possession. "We didn't give chances away in transition, but we have to score. We had the opportunities and we didn't do it, and then one moment of switching off, we conceded the goal." Ten Hag wanted more from his side / Sebastian Frej/MB Media/GettyImages Echoing the thoughts of left-back Luke Shaw, Ten Hag admitted confidence is proving to be a problem f...
