1972 Sacramento Canadair Sabre accident
On September 24, 1972, a privately owned Canadair Sabre Mk. 5 jet piloted by Richard Bingham failed to take off while leaving the "Golden West Sport Aviation Air Show" at Sacramento, California's Executive Airport, crashing into a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. Twenty-two people died and twenty-eight were injured. At the time it was the worst aircraft accident in the United States involving victims on the ground, and would not be surpassed until the Green Ramp disaster in 1994.
==Accident==
The jet failed to gain sufficient altitude upon takeoff, with eyewitnesses suggesting the nose was over-rotated. The F-86 Sabre has a dangerous and often fatal handling characteristic upon takeoff if the nose is raised prematurely from the runway. This handling characteristic of the F-86 was acknowledged from the early 1950s.
The aircraft flew through a chain link fence at the end of the runway, across Freeport Boulevard, crushing a parked car and crashed at into a local Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour at approximately 4:25pm. The parlour was occupied in part by the Sacramento 49ers "Little League" football team.
Twenty-two people died, including twelve children and two people in the parked car. An eight-year-old survivor of the accident lost nine family members including both parents, two brothers, a sister, two grandparents and two cousins. A family of four also died in the accident and immediately after the crash an elderly couple trying to cross the street to the crash site were struck by a vehicle, killing the wife. The pilot suffered a broken leg and broken arm.〔 The jet was owned by William Penn Patrick a successful businessman. Patrick himself, and his passenger, died when his P-51 Mustang crashed on the morning of June 9, 1973.〔
