Bad Day for Blue Angels and Thunderbirds

Two separate incidents.

Blue angels plane when down in Smyrna, TN. Initial reports are very bad:

Here in Colorado Springs, after flyover #6 Thunderbird lost an engine. Pilot heroics saved putting the plane in a congested area and then ejected. There's good news there.
