    In the end, 70 people died, including an unborn baby.
    10:21 In the later investigation report it becomes clear that those responsible in the US Air Force did not handle it "very very well". There was no first aid for the injured on the airfield, but the seriously injured were loaded onto trucks and taken to the hospital at the air force base. It is believed that lives could have been saved and fewer people would have sustained permanent injuries.

    Hello D.
    When I was a kid, my best friend's uncle with his wife and 8 year old kid went to the air show. They were standing right there where the aircraft crashed, but a couple of minutes before the kid had to go pee. So they left to find a toilet and that how they survived. Incredible luck.
    Also I believe that was the end of air shows on German ground.
    With love from Germany ❤🤘🏻

    About the protests in the beginning: in the 80s the US air force made daily low-level flights and regularly broke the sound barriers. I remember as a child I was in the garden and a fighter jet flew so low, I seriously thought it would crash into the chimney of our house.
    Besides the people who died at the airshow, many had severe burn injuries. In the news back then, they talked about one victim whose socks melted through bis flesh down to the bone. After that, air shows had much harder safety regulations and eventually ceased to exist - at least in our area I haven't heard about airshows in decades.

    Me and my husband also wanted to go to the air show at the time. My husband was in the german Air Force at the time. I was 22 and pregnant with my first child. But something important came up. I was so upset that we couldn't go there. That evening we were driving home when we heard it on the radio. I still get shivers down my spine today when I see the pictures. I will never forget this, August 28, 1988 😩
    The organization of the injured was a catastrophe; there were too few ambulances. Many were driven around the area in cars or buses for hours; they no longer knew where to put the many injured people. Some didn't survive that either.

    The tragedy after the tragedy was the chaotic emergency drill after the event. US and German emergency crews had different materials not able to combine (like fire hoses) and the US military brought the wounded they found to helicopters and Pickups without reviewing the seriousness of the injury... There is a sentence of a German emergency doctor who said "They (US staff) literally ripped the wounded out of our hands, before we could treat them."

    Terrible tragedy. Friends of mine were there. They were physically unharmed, but were traumatized. They saw people burning and narrowly escaped death themselves. They couldn't really talk about it much and we were so young and we all didn't know how to deal with it properly. One of them was never the same after that.

    I still live there, and I still remember the sound of thousend sirens in the air, mixing up like one big scream. After the crash, that we heared even in our garden, it was very silent for minutes. Then, ambulances and firefighters came to the scene like from everywhere.
    My cousin was there, as a child, and after that he sometimes painted pictures from burning people.
    There was no good psycological care back in the days.

    The video for the song Rannstein i know is from the Lost Highway movie soundtrack.
    I've been to multiple air shows in and around the city I live in Canada. One we were as close as these people were at this air show. That was in the 70s and early 80s.
    I never had the English lyrics to the song and never remembered the air show disaster. Still, good song.

    I live not far away of the Ramstein-Air-Base, and since I was 7, we, our whole family, visited the air-shows in every single year: And those days were more than "air-shows"! It was not only about airplanes, military and technology - it was the biggest german-american festival in Germany: As a german, you could eat original american food, get in contact with american soldiers and their families, their were american square-dance presentations, american books were sold.... and you could get in touch with the newest airforce technology... it was GREAT! In 1988 we were on the way to the Base when our car brooke down 3 km from the entrance of the Base,... that saved our lives! The place were the Frecce-Tricolorie-Planes crashed in to the spectators was exactly were we´ve planned to watch the air-show.... Due to the broken car, we arrived at foot at the Airbase - just in time to see the crash from far-away... and we were then direectly involved into the rescue (me and my father rescue-paramedics at that time) - when you have smelled burnt human flesh - that´s a smell you never will forget! And the "rescue-operation" of the us-airforce were a total mess: Everyone wanted and tried to help - but there was NO organisation at all! US - guards at the entrence of the base hinderd german ambulances and paramedics to enter the base - someone of the MP had the suspicion that the crash was not an crash but an terror-attac..., german rescue-helicopters were not allowed to enter the restricted airspace around the Base - some us-airspace-controllers were ardent that the airspace is restricted because there is an ongoing air-show...(and in that moment they had from their tower an surely empressionating view of the crash site...), the us-airforce paramedics (much to few were on duty at that day for such an amount 8 estimated some 500 000) of visitors!) used crash-rescue tactics: No tirage, no care about the special problems with (heavily) burnt patients, no registration of names, no reporting which person was threated and where this person was then transported for further treatment... some families searched for up to 3 days their wounded beloved-ones till the knew if their family member is in some hospital, medical installation - or dead! US soldiers packed wounded and burnt people into trucks and vans to bring them into nearby hospitals (fast and very efficient!) - but with drivers that dont knew were the hospitals were and that not spoke one word german... odysseys pre-programmed... And it showed fast that there were not enough specialised treatment facilities for such an amount of burnt people in the hospitals around. Thanks God, there were enough helicopters from different NATO-countries on display at the airshow, their crews organised with the help of NATO an impressive airlift-operation to transport the burn-victims to the few available specialised burn-victim-threatment-centers throughout europe! No one - not in germany, not in the us airforce, not in NATO, not in the whole of europe was prepard to handle some 400 victims with burning wounds!
    The way how the commanders at Ramstein-Air-Base prepared this airshow was - at least - careless, the way they reacted after the crash was slow and un-organised, but the way how they after the crash hinderd german criminal investigation and the juristic judgement of the crash (from german AND us american justice institutions) was perfect, purely political motivated and a total shame (and the german government also had absolutely no interest to clear things up)!
    This crash ended the tradition of the big german-american festivals... from that day on, there was no "open day", no more "public displays" - the american military bases started to isolate themself more and more from the german population... the mood changed and the us bases and their housing districts became more and more isolated from germany: Landbased american aircraft carriers, floating in an nation of foreigneirs... like an friend of mine from the us-airforce sayed... and all the over long years grown german-american-friendship activities died slowly after that incident... Today, the us military invests a lot of thinking to avoid, that us military personel is stationed "too long" at one place (one base) in the world - "contact" or "fraternisation" with "locals" should be avoided if possible! Better for security, fewer problems with relocation of military personal and its families, and the "buck stays in the bases"... and then the us military is surprised when their military is more considerd an occupation force than an allied friend...
    Sometimes I have the impression that the USA as a nation has sometimes in the early 80´ s decided that it preferres to be feared instead of beeing loved... - had once a dog like that, had to shoot it... too dangerous for the neighborhood... 🤨

      On their first album they had the song, going "Ramstein, a human burns, smell of flesh in the air" etc. - so yes, the bandname is on purpose, but (as usual with them) it's up to you to decide whether it's provocation or making you think...

    It is only with these images that Till Lindemann's text unfolds its full effect. You understand why the band chose the name “Rammstein”. It should be understood as a provocation. Legend has it that the second “m” was an oversight. As I said: a legend. Is it true? I have no idea.

      @noobdernoobder6707 Před měsícem +1

      Not true. The impact of the accident was so immense because they performed that special figure that lead to the accident with the impulse of the plane directed towards the audience at the most critical and dangerous instant of the maneuver. the did that back then because it would look so much more impressive if the plane just recovering from a backwards loop and nearly missing the other two planes that came to the almost same spot in the air from an right angle then would shoot in low altitude flight right over the heads of the amazed crowd. Unfortunately that plane hit the other two and with the impulse directed towards the crowd at that height the three fuled airplanes crashed directly in the middle of the crowds and then mowing further through the dense ranks of spectators. This maneuver is now normally forbidden on air shows, although i think the Italians do it in spite. But the maneuver is not allowed anymore to be performed that near to a crowd, nor with an airplane directed at the crowd. So, if the same accident would happen today, ther would just be 3 stupid dead daredevil pilots frying in the opposite uncrowded field.

  • @noobdernoobder6707
    @noobdernoobder6707 Před měsícem +5

    That was the instant when Till decided he had to become a pyrotechnician for the next show.
    But cynism aside, it is not just an exibition of the capability of the man who flies. That can be done with the impulse of the planes during the most critical phase of the maneuver not directed towards the crowd - just in case the capability is not as high as it would be necessessary. What they did was like a throwing dagger circus show with the target mounted directly in front of the crowd instead towards the uncrowded entry. The did it just for aaaahs and ooohs and to get more thrill out of one of the most complicated acrobatic maneuvers possible. Well, they got the thrills in the end. With the piercing plane directed away from the crowd the accident would have involved most likely just 3-5 dead pilots who could calculate the risks anyways. The crowd would have been most likely unaffected just with that little change in the setup. Btw this is how human flesh looks like after such an accident in real life, unlike to the superhero movies where heros just can walk through flames almost unaffected.

    You were correct with your original conclusion of the lyrics to Rammilied.
    However, the band did indeed consider calling themselves after the air disaster in their origins early days, but thought better of it and disassociated themselves from that meaning. I'm pretty sure the idea wasn't to disrespect the disaster or the people that tragically died. It was just an edgy name, just like Led Zeppelin is an edgy name, which absolutely comes from an air disaster.
    Rammilied is absolutely about the band and their collectivness and unity and nothing to do with the air disaster.
    I love your coverage and reacts to Rammstein. I, like you, am a late bloomer to their music and am enjoying every minute of it.
    So, carry on enjoying their creativeness, mastery, and fantasticness.
    There will always be detractors no matter what you say or do!
    Please do carry on down your Rammstein rabbit hole, I am a fan of theirs for life now, and I'm going to see them live in June! ✌️

    This is how I heared the story: when the band was newly formed and not yet really sure how to call themselves they toured and West Germans started to call them "Ramstein on Tour" (like "a fiery accident waiting to happen"). The real accident happened in Ramstein in 1988 (6 years earlier) and at that time Germany was still divided so what happened in the Western part was (if covered at all in the news in the Communist East) probably only mentioned as a propaganda piece. 1994 the East German band members did not know what the joke was about and looked up "Ramstein". So they learned about the accident - maybe saw the same footage You used - and made a song about it to pay respects to the human tragedy (that´s just how they tic) but learned also that a "Rammstein" with 2 "m" is the last stone to be put in a bridge or gateway connecting the 2 half-arches so they stay upright and support each other. And they named the band after the stone (2 "m" not 1) not the location because the methaphor suits them, making a bridge from one riverbank to another, connecting people.

    in the original Video (not with that stupid song) you can hear a man desperately crying for his wife (or daughter) ... this crying for Tanja can give you nightmares ..... and while medics tried to help, the US military was not very cooperative .... there was chaos by bringing the wounded to hospitals, one driver drove for hours because he was unfamiliar with the area ... a tragedy that unfortunately did not lead to a stop for airshows .... too sad
    edit: from wikipedia:
    The disaster revealed serious shortcomings in the handling of large-scale medical emergencies by German civil and American military authorities. US military personnel did not immediately allow German ambulances onto the base, and the rescue work was generally hampered by a lack of efficiency and coordination. The rescue coordination center in Kaiserslautern was unaware of the disaster's scale as much as an hour after it occurred, even though several German medevac helicopters and ambulances had already arrived on site and left with patients. American helicopters and ambulances provided the quickest and largest means of evacuating burn victims, but lacked sufficient capacities for treating them, or had difficulty finding them. Further confusion was added by the American military's usage of different standards for intravenous catheters from German paramedics. A single standard was codified in 1995, updated with a newer version in 2013 and an amendment to the current standard in 2017.
