Passenger Planes Collided With Each Other In USA: Two passenger planes collided at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona, USA, causing one to crash into 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 the collision, one of the planes caught fire and was completely destroyed when it hit the ground. The other plane was able to land safely. Tragically, both pilots were killed in the accident, while the pilots of the second plane escaped unharmed. Following the incident, the runway was temporarily closed to flights. However, after an investigation by the aviation authorities, the airport was reopened.
It should also 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. Accidents involving small aircraft are relatively common in the United States, as these aircraft are not subject to the same stringent regulations as commercial aircraft, although they do undergo regular inspections and maintenance.
