He's going to be late for his next story?  Heck!  What was this story about?!?  :o

Actually, this video has been around for some time, and every time I see it I am amazed that the man was not killed.  And, it provides those of us willing to learn from someone else's mistakes a valuable lesson:

Don't stand in front of moving aircraft!  Duh!  ::)

I fully believe this as a possibility: But I just noticed something watching the film just now...

Is it me; or does it look like someone threw a white object of some sort out of the plane; just before impact?

It's possible they were just trying to "Fly-by flour" him or something; but got a tad close.

Either way, real or not; It's a scary thought of being hit by a plane :o

That was the story behind the scene IIRC: Local upcoming air-show, guy flour bombing things, reporter out there getting "the scoop" and providing some free publicity for said upcoming air show.  The bit was: the reporter delivers the report then gets flour bombed.  Didn't work too well.
