Interesting to contrast Mr. Gosling's account to this one: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AIR_SHOW_CRASH?SIT...

A lady ~90ft (or nearly twice the distance from the disaster as Mr. Gosling) from the accident said, "I saw body parts and gore like you wouldn't believe it. I'm talking an arm, a leg," Higgins said "The alive people were missing body parts. I am not kidding you. It was gore. Unbelievable gore."

I'm inclined to believe both of these are true, but I would not be surprised if one of these witnesses, in their understandable shock, had their minds fill in the blanks in their memories, wiped clean by stress. I've been through a firefight or two myself and IMO these life-and-death situations are a mix of crystal clarity and swiss cheese memory. Sometimes the brain puts things there that weren't.

I have seen the videos, and there were plenty of missing limbs. Don't watch if you're sensitive to that.
