happened in front of thousands
of holidaymakers at the

ejected shortly after the
engine failed. The Harrier was
coming to the end of its
display - when it bows to the
crowd, before flying off. A
BBC reporter at the scene said
the aircraft was flying about
50ft above the water when
there was a loud explosion.
