Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.One person died when a plane crashed at an air show yesterday. The victim was believed to be the pilot of a P38 Lightning fighter aircraft which crashed into a line of stationary planes while carrying out a low- level fly-past at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
Thousands of spectators saw the planes burst into flames. They had gone to the former wartime airfield for a display of vintage aircraft. Firemen put out the blaze and tried in vain to release the pilot from the fighter. The driver of a lorry who was passing the airfield on the A505 was reported to be "shaken up but unharmed" after his vehicle was hit by flying debris.
