1938... Stunt plane crashes into stands in Bogota Columbia, killing 53.

Never heard of this before, which is strange, seeing as this would have made it the biggest human tragedy in motorsport up until the 1955 Le Mans. Nothing is available about this alleged accident, and anything would be appreciated, if only a mention on some site with some further info. Ramstein and Lviv were worse in terms of loss of life, but this is still the 4th biggest disaster in motorsport history.

Possibly that was it, instead.

This was a different crash, at Medellín, in 1935. I'll try to sort the two.

Video from the 1938 army air show, including some stills at the end, some of which are very unpleasant viewing.
