Blue Angels plane crashes

An F-18 can fly in excess of 450 MPH.. Who would've guessed?

On ONE engine ? Not too bad

The report seemed to indicate that was separate from the ability to fly
on one engine.

Well, I am going to continue with my usual rant: There is no
compelling reason for low level aerobatics! It should be banned...
Every airshow season some schmuck manages to turn his bird into
smoking wreckage while trying to prove he is the "best" at diving
within inches of death...

In this case it appears that the flight leader took the maneuver below
the treetops and this unfortunate schmuck, who had his eyes glued to
the wing ahead of him, kissed a pine tree...
If I were the prosecutor in that county I would charge the flight
leader with involuntary manslaughter and take him to trial...

Why ban something that harms no one except the volunteers who do it?

The dead pilot was doing what he loved to do. Nobody else was killed. Why do
you have a problem with that?

So? What exactly is the problem here?

We don't care about your rant, so why don't you go somewhere where
someone might care?
