I was stationed at Ramstein Air Base from 1987 to 1990. I was in the crowd for the crash. Wikipedia has a good article on the Ramstein Air Show Disaster.
I had just bought a few beers for me and my friends and was walking back to them, not really paying attention when the disaster happened. One of the jets crashed right into the beer truck where I was standing not more than a minute ago.
I just stood there stunned. Absolutely terrified at what was going on around me.
Shrapnel and jet fuel peppered the crowd all around me and for some unknown reason, I wasn't hit with anything. I was so still, I didn't even spill the beers.
