Blue Angels grounded

Perhaps this is more directed at wingman discipline/trust than anything else.  Those two aircraft that broke formation were on the same trajectory as lead, and he came out alright.  Regardless, glad everyone is alright, and that's far more important than making it look good.

I saw a story on NBC that compared the botched maneuver with the normal one and the two that broke were actually the ones that did it correctly. In the normal maneuver, all four jets break in different directions.

The report also said that they came within 130 feet of the ground, and the minimum for that maneuver is supposed to be 500 feet.
