Default Air Race pilot almost killed in runway collision

Horrible video where a pilot was almost killed during a formation/staggered takeoff at Reno last Sunday.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FyfK1t...ature=youtu.be

All the pilot seems worried about is the fact he is not at fault!

But don't just watch the video, make sure you read the comments below it by the pilot. He goes through what happened and what procedures he followed. It gives you a better understanding of what happened before and after the collision.

He is one lucky guy!
