Eleven men died when a jet crashed on to the A27 in West Sussex during the 2015 Shoreham Airshow.
Image source, Steve Parsons/PAEleven men who died when a jet crashed on a dual carriageway during an air show were unlawfully killed, a coroner has concluded.
The men died when a Hawker Hunter plane crashed on the A27 in West Sussex as it carried out a stunt at the Shoreham Airshow on 22 August 2015.
The pilot, Andrew Hill, was cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence.
Coroner Penelope Schofield said the plane crashing was “a result of the manner in which it was flown”.
The victims played “no part” in causing their own deaths, she told the inquest in Horsham.
A series of errors were serious enough to reach a conclusion, on the balance of probabilities, that the men had been killed as a result of gross negligence manslaughter, she added.
