One accident fatal at an air show equipped with a jet engine

Police said an accident occurred in the "fireworks section" of an air show in Michigan, killing one person. The

incident occurred after 1:00 pm on Saturday. At the Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show and Balloon Festival at Battle Creek Executive Airport.

A dramatic video by air show participants captured a race track called Shockwave Jet Truck, which races two aircraft on the runway before an accident occurs. As the vehicle slips through a large fireball and collides, you will see a small fire behind the truck.

"Oh, we got an incident at our shockwave here at the air show center," the announcer can hear saying after the accident.
