I was in high school when that happened living next to a major USAF base where my father was based. I had long had nightmares of jets crashing into our neighborhood. One did on a nearby golf course after the pilot ejected and pointed it at a fairway straight down to minimize crash debris damage.
That Ramstein crash and video taken by one of the spectators with the jet careening out of control on fire right at the crowd (and him) gave me even more nightmares. I still have them on rare occasion decades later - wakes me up every time. Horrible scene.
