post states."Please make your way into your vehicles and calmly make your way out of the airfield. Please be patient as we control traffic around the area."that he witnessed the crash while watching the air show from his boat in Belleville Lake. He described the incident as"surreal," saying it was a"miracle" that no one was seriously injured.
Gatteri said the incident"happened right over top" of his group of roughly 30 family and friends who were enjoying a"Sunday Funday" on the water when he noticed one aircraft performing in the air show was flying abnormally low. Seconds later, he said the plane went down, causing an"incredibly huge" fireball.
Gatteri said that while the crash occurred just a quarter of a mile away from where he was on the lake, he heard"no sound" during the incident other than"popping" when the pilots ejected. "We come out to the air show every single year and we watch it on the lake and it's always an amazing show," Gatteri said in the interview."It's just absolutely unreal to see what happened today. But thank God everyone's okay."
