On 27 July 2002 the Air Force of Ukraine organised a military aviation show at the �Lviv� (�Sknyliv�) airdrome to commemorate an anniversary of the 14 th Air Force Unit. The celebration agenda included a static display of military airplanes and other equipment and a live aerobatics show by military pilots. Several thousand individuals, including the applicants and/or their close relatives, attended the event.
During the aerobatics performance, an airplane piloted by Colonels V.T. and Y.Y. fell and crashed into the static airplane display site, occupied by numerous spectators. Both pilots successfully ejected themselves before the airplane hit the ground. As a result of the crash, 77 persons, including relatives of some applicants, were killed, and 292 persons, including some applicants, were injured (see Appendix for details).
On the same day (27 July 2002) the military prosecutors� office instituted criminal proceedings to investigate the circumstances of the accident.
