There's a thread on the RC Universe "Jet Forum" on this, includes link
to an amatuer video of the crash that ended up on the TV News in
Hungary. Definitely a bad situation, to understate it. Apparently
pilot had "interference" (loss of control) - clearly visible in the
video that there was no throttle, elevator, or aileron control coming
out of a steeply-banked turn toward the crowd. Goes in probably 70-80*
bank.

The thread on RCU quotes "someone" that the pilot was arrested
immediately.

Ugly. And reminds us of the risks, and how important it is for us to
do everything we can to mitigate them.
