Passenger Planes Collided With Each Other In USA
Two passenger planes collided at the Marana Regional Airport in Arizona, USA, as a result one aircraft crashed to the ground. According to international news agencies, the two small planes involved were a Cessna 172S and a Lancair M-360. The collision occurred shortly after both planes took off from the airport.
After collision, one of the planes caught fire and was completely destroyed upon impact with the ground. The other plane, however, managed to land safely. Tragically, the two pilots lost their lives in the accident, while the pilots of the second plane remained unharmed. Following the incident, the runway was temporarily closed for flights. However, after an investigation by aviation authorities, the airport was reopened.
It is also to be noted that on January 29, a collision between a military helicopter and a US Airways plane at Washington National Airport resulted in the deaths of 67 people. Small plane accidents are relatively common in the United States, as these aircraft are not subject to the same stringent regulations as commercial planes, despite undergoing regular inspections and maintenance.
