I remember the incident though. An A320 full of passengers doing
something it shouldn't have at an air show, and ending up descending

Aircraft was not full of passengers. It was a demo flight with just a few guests.

The aircraft didn't "descend into the trees", it just wasn't able to climb
over the trees due to its initially low speed and low altitude.


I've done a search, but there seem inconsistency over the numbers,
though the figure of 3 deaths seems reliable, rather than the 1 I
stated. There seems general agreement that there were a lot of people on
board.

A video of the accident is available at this site:
