A Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 during an aerial display at the Shoreham Airshow on Saturday. At least 11 people are thought to have died but more bodies are expected to be recovered after the removal of the jet. The Civil Aviation Authority, said it was considering whether air show safety requirements should change. Sussex Police Chief Constable Steve Barry said: “It’s too early to tell but I’d be surprised if [the death toll] doesn’t go above 11. “If it would be below 20 then that would be probably the best estimate that I could give you at this stage.” “It makes it very complicated to establish who was where and who we can actually confirm has been a victim of this crash…” A crane is due to be brought to the scene on the A27 in West Sussex to remove the plane’s wreckage.
