@@Uvoted4this Nah, he blamed Putin for the jet truck explosion. He also blamed Putin for his own bike wreck incident a week or so back. That damned Putin is one crafty SOB, to be able to sow so much chaos & destruction throughout the world and in so many different ways.. 🇷🇺🚨⛽️😱
It's so sad to hear this. Hurts my heart. He was just in Utah last weekend. I would always tell people about how cool that truck was. I loved hearing that truck rumble the ground. Sorry to the family for their loss.
This is terribly tragic. My condolences to the drivers friends and family. I've seen the Shockwave truck at local air shows and was impressed. Again my sincerest condolences to the driver's friends and family.
This was so sad to watch in person. I've been a fan for years and to watch this happen was horrific. And I just found out it was Chris' 40th birthday today.💔
At .49 secs into video and using 0.25 speed you can see the debris that does the damage you also see the chute deploying at the time also and another second you see more debris up in the air behind truck before it starts flipping. RIP Chris.
I was there, right up front. The planes had nothing to do with the crash. The pyrotechnics had nothing to do with the crash. The pyro was not on the runway. There were in the grass infield. He did not drive through the pyro fireball. What a tragic loss though. Prayers go out to the family.
It is not good for a vehicle going that fast to have to drive through the concussion of pyrotechnics. The extra aerodynamic stress could in general cause something like this, but probably did not (?) have much affect in this case.
Yea, im not sure why the news keeps implying the pyro may have had something to do with it. It was a mechanical failure..whether it was the engine first taking out the tires, or the tires taking out the engine, not sure. Even more crazy, a couple seconds either way carrying a little less speed, he may have been alright. Also if the truck had stayed on the tarmac instead of digging into the grass and flipping he also might have been alright.
@@jaypesca8752 I doubt there was any concussion near the truck as it was to far away. These are also gasoline pyros that have a big, lazy fireball. Not much explosion.
This video is hard for me to watch. The Shockwave Jet truck has been my favorite jet truck to watch whether it's on video or at the track. Chris Darnell you are greatly missed.

I have a very clear stillshot showing the rearmost left tire shredding. The chute is out already but the afterburners are still at power. I think he felt it coming and had chopped the power and pulled the chute but there was nothing he could really do but go along for the ride.
An absolute LOSS to the entire Motorsports community. The Darnell family bought the Shockwave truck from Les Shockley back in 2012. I’ve been going to various racing events and have followed and enjoyed watching the Shockwave for years. Chris just turned 40 years old. Absolute tragedy and my thoughts are with his family.
Oh yes, humanity has suffered an irretrievable blow from which it may never recover. How can we possibly get over from the loss of a semi tractor with jet engines attached to it, driven by a suicidal maniac?
So what happened? The video leaves a lot to the imagination unfortunately. Sorry to you for the forever memory and the friends and family of the driver.
@@IDSnowman I don't want too speculate but something happened when he deployed the parachute maybe a tire blew or maybe something to do with the parachute idk but the crash was violent.
It looked like the tire blew or an engine before the pyrotechnics area..he started spinning right before going into the blast... RIP sir...you are a legend
@@jonkaminsky8382 No jon, you misunderstood. Or wanted to misunderstand. Every time a pilot dies, or a truck driver, as both kinds were here on the airshow, I feel it probably a little more than the average Joe. It just hits closer to home. That's all.
A similar accident happened like this back in 2008 when the Shockley family owned the truck and was driven by Kent Shockley. Veered to the right and barrel rolled. That was caused by only 2 of the 3 parachutes deploying which caused it to veer to the right
Yeah, looks like the parachute either deployed accidentally and that caused the truck to spin out/flip or maybe the driver deployed it on purpose because something else was going wrong?
@@JohnLRice from a different video I seen that was super zoomed in, it looks to be that one of the jet engines let go and when it did that, it took out a couple tires on the rear left side, which put him into a spin. I’m not sure as the parachutes had anything to do with it
@@JohnLRice Not driver deployed, the engines are still throttled up and when you pull the chute lever on Shockwave it cuts the throttles. Debris from whatever happened would have deployed the chute.
He didnt even get to the pyrotecnics before he lost control. He was already spinning around before he got to them. The two left rear tires blew causing him to lose control. They must have broke some fuel lines when they blew out.
Shockwave was already crossed up well before the pyrotechnic explosion...the chute was deployed and unfortunately for whatever reason it didn't catch air...tragically leading to an extremely high speed rollover and the untimely passing of Chris Darnell...RIP sir!!!!!
I was at one of the shows down here in louisiana, i had a conversation with him, this is sad and a very tragic event. Prayers to his family and close friends. 🛐🙏
Someone can only do something life threatening until something horrible happens... example Space Shuttle explosion... the largest TV viewer watched event around the world!
I believe he came to Trenton Air Show in Canada and, I seen him run there when I was a child. This is sad such a great truck and spectacular site to see R.I.P Chris Darnell.
The video clearly shows that the reporters are not very intelligent. The pyro had nothing to do with the accident. It looks as though a tire blew or something in the rear suspension broke first. The truck was not even near the pyro when it lost control. More wanna-be clowns delivering false information. R.I.P to the driver. gone way too soon.
I was here for this, it was chilling. No one knew for sure what happened, but we all though that the driver was alright. But by the time an hour past and no word from the safety team or driver, we knew it was over. Bummed not to see the thunderbirds for the first time. RIP Chris and Prayers to the Darnell family. P.S. the video shown in this news report makes the accident was worse that it was. The large gray smoke cloud in front of the truck was pyrotechnics. The actual explosion from the truck was smaller
Я видел выступление этого грузовика на US-131 в Мартине в 2019 году, и это было потрясающее шоу. Это так грустно. Мое сердце обращено к его семье и друзьям. Покойся с миром, брат. =(
They wasn’t performing stunts. Shockwave was racing two planes when one of the engines exploded causing the vehicle to roll over and launching the driver out.
@@CanItAlready But that doesn’t mean they’re stunt flying. Stunt flying is doing a flight that is dangerous and you don’t know what the result is going to be after you do it. Those pilots are aerobatic legends. And aerobatics is pretty much your simple roll loop tumble, and also knowing the outcome of those maneuvers.
@@ItsMeMikey998 Yes, but flying upside down is not the way planes are normally flown. It still counts as a stunt, whether you consider it impressive or not.
looks like he lost thrust in starboard engine, then forced sideways & spun/rolled. Is that the right term, starboard? It's a triple-engined 'Jet Truck' so I dunno. ??
Sad to hear. I am confused on the footage. It seemed that the vehicle broke apart about the time what seemed to be that vehicle driving directly through that ground fireball?
My guess is left rear tire failure, you can see the center hubcap blow off the wheel before the truck goes out of control. The loud pop they heard before the crash started was the tire exploding
It wasn't the fireball that caught the truck, one of the Jet engines flamed out when he began his deceleration and popped the chute, This caused instantaneous differential thrust destructively spinning the truck at speed just before the fireball, The truck began breaking up just after it re-emerges from the other side. RIP Chris Darnell.
Yeah, looks like the parachute either deployed accidentally and that caused the truck to spin out/flip or maybe the driver deployed it on purpose because something else was going wrong?

I don't know what I could say that would truly express the amount of sadness that I feel for the driver Chris, and everyone involved. I can't believe this is real-life footage and not something out of a horrible action movie or something.

People wondering whether there's still going to be balloons after a man just lost his human life in front of their eyes really does sum up the mindset of the people in this city.
What a tragedy and I wonder if the jet upset the air on the truck, as I have watched the jet powered truck at least 20 years in a row, and not once have I witnessed a Blue Angel or Thunderbird jet above the truck. You just can't have this much power contained in such close proximity. You have hundreds of thousands pounds of thrust (energy) with airflow in a relatively small area, and hopefully this was done in a wind tunnel before actually doing it, but presently physics means little to grieving family members. I can tell you at the track I attend, the truck is no more than 250 feet from audience. May my God give this great family comfort.
I'm watching this on UA-cam and I knew right off that bat that the truck had wrecked and the driver was hurt bad so I can't understand how someone watching it live didn't know what was going on,I'm amazed at the lack of reasoning in society today
Have you seen this even in person? So much goes on that it would be easy to get confused. I wasn’t at this one but I have been to them almost every year. What I don’t understand is how so many people can be so judgmental these days. If you weren’t there then why even comment!! No one needs your judgmental comments when our home town loved one just died! Get a grip!
It looks like the truck started to spin out right before the pyrotechnics. You can see it start to spin right before the umbrella got in the way. At least that’s how it looked to me. So sad, prayers to his family.

The truck was sliding out before it went through the fire so the truck lost control due to speed or loss of control from speed before going through the fire.
The “fireball” was evident before the truck “passed over” the fireball! The pryotecnics were in in the sod area between the taxiway and runway had nothing to do with the accident. The truck was nowhere near it! Nobody knows what happened to cause the accident. The investigators will let us know when they confirm with their findings! Tragic is was for sure and condolences to the family of Chris and RIP Chris! You were always a favorite.
Sad to see this. Look at 1:30 - 1:32 in the slowest two speeds. You can see the truck was on fire, before the explosion happened. You see the afterburners, then it catches on fire, then it passes the explosion. Also Chris new something was wrong, as one of the brake chutes gets deployed, just before the fire.
where did you get the reporter ? its almost like he has never been to an event or even outside in his life the words that he uses to explain this are tragic
The Lower left engine exploded and took out the rear tires and the truck turned violently right and barrel rolled......HORRIBLE TO WITNESS!!
As a jet engine technician, it was an incredible catastrophic (assuming Uncontained) failure, you can see the parts also punch the fuel tank.
Many helpless witnesses! Kids too? 🍃RIP🍃🥀
Looks like the parachutes deployed early to me. Long before the engine explodes.

Looked like to me that both rear tires on the left side blew and my guess cut a fuel line as well

agree it sounds like right when he loses control you can here the tires explode.
but that could have been the fire bombs going off that made the noise. but you can still see the tires coming apart before he loses control
A parachute was also out as if he was trying to stop already and fire coming out the jet engines and the exhaust stacks and maybe more.

The odds of the happening have to be a thousand to one! And since they've done it more than 1,000 times, this should come as no surprise.
looks like he lost thrust in starboard engine, then forced sideways & spun/rolled.
Is that the right term, starboard? It's a triple-engined 'Jet Truck' so I dunno. ??
Welcome to the comment section, where everyone is an expert with jet trucks.
Don't need to be an expert to see he was already sideways in a fireball before the pyrotechnics.
He was all kind of sideways before the pyros
Sad to hear. I am confused on the footage. It seemed that the vehicle broke apart about the time what seemed to be that vehicle driving directly through that ground fireball?
The fireball was on the grass between the audience and the runway....
I literally have footage of this truck at the FORT WAYNE AIRSHOW that happened a few weeks back……dang…RIP….

rest in pieces.
Rumor has it….he yelled (witnesses me) right before the the explosion….

My guess is left rear tire failure, you can see the center hubcap blow off the wheel before the truck goes out of control. The loud pop they heard before the crash started was the tire exploding

My dad is an air traffic controller in Grand forks and met this dude 2 weeks before the crash. Shits surreal :/
Rest in piece ended up driving by on my way home place is a mess :/
Is this a multi-vehicle accident or a single-vehicle accident?
He always had this concern of blowing up a tire in the midst of his performance😞
R.I.P. driver. The truck was seemingly getting its rear end out to the left just before the fire ball @1:31. Did he go off the track?
The truck was almost sideways before the truck entered the pyrotechnics, slow the video and you’ll see it. Could have been a blown right front tire.

You can see the truck start a slide sideways before reaching the cloud of smoke .
I've seen that truck twice at Miramar. Bummer.
Looks like one of the engines blew and it was spinning before the fireball
At 48 seconds as the truck was passing the first plane, the truck's parachute was deployed?

I watched this crash live and was not confused. When it was rolling and tumbling on fire we knew that it was not planned.
good for you that still doesn’t mean that everyone else wasn’t confused.
You can see the truck go sideways right before the pyro.
It looks like the truck started to spin out right before the pyrotechnics. You can see it start to spin right before the umbrella got in the way. At least that’s how it looked to me. So sad, prayers to his family.
What was the first explosion
The driver was allready losing control of the truck, before he was passing the pyrotechnik explosion on the footage. Something went horrobly wrong.
RIP 🙏
Barrel rolling at 300 mph. Tragic... RIP
Even with the current dip in crypto currency's I'm glad I can smile 🙂back at my portfolio of $107,000built from my weekly trading I have received my sixth withdrawal which is every 14 business days per trade investing through expert Mr Arjun B Jagat
Same here, there's no doubt crypto investment is the key to future wealth, with the current profit of $68,000 made from my investment with Mr Arjun trading platform I'm totally convinced, he's the best trading broker I have worked with and his strategies are so easy to adapt he's such a blessing to me especially in this current dip
@@nissan38p69 Agree with you digital currencies that were once viewed as mysterious by many in the past went sky high making millions of dollars for a lot of people including I. It'll definitely do that soon
@@nissan38p69 that's actually quite impressive, Please how can I contact your advisor, I really like what he has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it. I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@@arktom7335 My advisor is Arjun B Jagat ; I found him on Bloomberg where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards.

The truck was sliding out before it went through the fire so the truck lost control due to speed or loss of control from speed before going through the fire.
The “fireball” was evident before the truck “passed over” the fireball! The pryotecnics were in in the sod area between the taxiway and runway had nothing to do with the accident. The truck was nowhere near it! Nobody knows what happened to cause the accident. The investigators will let us know when they confirm with their findings! Tragic is was for sure and condolences to the family of Chris and RIP Chris! You were always a favorite.
Sad to see this.
Look at 1:30 - 1:32 in the slowest two speeds. You can see the truck was on fire, before the explosion happened. You see the afterburners, then it catches on fire, then it passes the explosion. Also Chris new something was wrong, as one of the brake chutes gets deployed, just before the fire.
Yes you can see it went sideways before it got to the pyro .
where did you get the reporter ? its almost like he has never been to an event or even outside in his life the words that he uses to explain this are tragic
He sure didn't ace English in college. Must be his first report.
You do remember this is america right? Not exactly known for any intelligence...🤣
Rest In Peace Chris
