I did not know that....

Once all the people crammed into the stands I wonder how many realized that if one of those flying contraptions went out of control they would be SOL...?
Years earlier when the planes were even less safe they flew at a stadium in France...?
People were more tough back then..getting hit by a airplane wasn't as big a deal as it is nowadays.
