SU-27
84 people were killed and over 100 injured. Pilot got 14 years in prison and had to pay $1.42 million, copilot got 8 years. Two other show officials got 6 years while a 3rd got 4 years.
23 were children I believe, and like 10-15 were unidentifiable due to being mangled so badly.

Oh damn, was that a hand held recording about halfway through? The angle where the plane came in like 25 feet above this guys head. He just stood there. I would have been running like hell, I don't care if it landed way over there.

Not sure when the regulation began, but the article says that Britain has not had an accident in 45 years, guessing we are somewhat similar don't know for sure though.

They ejected. Its after it slams into all the people, its sliding on its side behind some buildings. They eject then.
Here is what was accounted for the crash:
-violation of the flight plan by crew or ground co-ordinator
-improper flight plan: particularly, mistaken correlation between the flight and spectators' zones
-piloting error
-technical failure
-fueling the plane with an excess amount of kerosene, causing the Su-27 to become too heavy and not agile enough to complete the manouver
This is why they recieved jail time. On June 24, 2005, military courts sentenced the two pilots, Volodymyr Toponar and Yuriy Yegorov, to fourteen and eight years in prison, respectively. The court found the two pilots and three other military officials guilty of failing to follow orders, negligence and violating flight rules. Two of the three officials were sentenced to up to six years in prison, and the last official received up to four years. In addition, Toponar was ordered to pay 7.2 million hryvnia ($1.42 million; €1.18 million) in compensation to the families, and Yegorov another 2.5 million hryvna.
