This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)
> Rew Hill, the pilot in control of the vintage Hawker Hunter jet that crashed at the Shoreham airshow, killing 11 men, has been cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence by an Old Bailey jury, who heard he may have been suffering a "Cognitive impairment" while at the controls.
> Hill, from Sandon, Hertfordshire, had denied 11 counts of manslaughter by gross negligence, claiming he had suffered "Cognitive impairment" while at the controls.
> Of the 11 who died, five were in vehicles on the A27, while the other six were either watching the airshow from a grass verge, or waiting to cross the busy road. Hill miraculously escaped, though was seriously injured, because his cockpit separated from the rest of the aircraft ending up in a ditch, and his seat was thrown out of the cockpit.
> The experienced former RAF instructor and fast jet pilot, who had a total of 14,249 flying hours, was said to have told paramedics he had blacked out at the controls and had felt unwell immediately before the crash.
> On legal advice, Hill, regarded as a "Highly competent and experienced pilot", refused to comment during police interviews after the crash, but did provide written statements.
> G-Force was not a factor as it would have been similar to that of a fairground roller coaster, and Hill was a highly experienced military fast-jet pilot and was wearing a G-suit.
