No worse outcome then these, direct hit ripping the wing right out, total loss of control. Wouldn´t be surprised if bailing out was impossible or atempted too late due to how sudent it was
Damn that was fast.
RIP
Looks like the inside left fan blade directly angle grinds into the cockpit.
Poor bastards
Imagine you’re operating the camera from your own plane and see that…
That was a bomb from a plane above them. Accident.
Oof, that’s a tough video to watch
Thank you for your service Gentlemen, and rest in peace

All KIA. Here is more info I found. https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-24/44-42058.html
It is somewhat majestic see such beast go down
Blew the damn spar right in two. No chance to save that.
One guy bailed out was executed about 20 days later
Damn that propeller was coming down on that cockpit glass fast. Horrible.
Even though it was in Europe and famously taken out by bombs from the aircraft above it. This is a very famous film. Facepalm.
Wow! Just wow!
Japanese AA guns were notoriously bad due to ineffective lead calculator, lack of proximity fuse, bad ammo magazine design, operation handicap, etc. That B-24 was really unlucky that day.
Terrifying
