-

Mediosfavoritos.space- One person was killed, and three others were injured after two planes collided midair near the Fort Morgan Municipal Airport in Colorado on Sunday, law enforcement officials said.

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office said deputies and emergency personnel rushed to the scene after receiving a report of a plane crash at about 10:45 a.m. When they arrived, they discovered that two aircraft had gone down in fields just outside the airport.

A preliminary investigation found that a small Cessna was on final approach to the runway when it was struck midair by a second aircraft. Witnesses reported seeing the two planes clip each other before plummeting to the ground.

Both planes caught fire when they hit the ground, according to the sheriff’s office. Plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the wreckage as first responders and bystanders tried to douse the fires.

Each plane carried two people. The Cessna’s occupants suffered minor injuries and were released at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.

One of the individuals aboard the second plane — an Extra Flugzeugbau EA300 — was taken to a local hospital. The other was pronounced dead at the scene by the Morgan County Coroner’s Office.

In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the two planes collided as they attempted to land.

The FAA said both agencies will investigate, with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) taking the lead and providing updates.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim in this tragic event," the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. "This is an active investigation and the names of the parties involved are not being released at this time."

mediosfavoritos77 - In 2004, explorers began a search for a plane that crashed into Lake Michigan in 1950, killing 58 people. They didn’t find it, but they revived the history of what once was the country’s deadliest aviation accident. In June 1950, a four-engine, propeller-driven passenger plane headed from LaGuardia Airport in New York to Minneapolis encountered a violent storm over Lake Michigan and crashed into the turbulent waters below. “If all aboard are lost, the crash will be the most disastrous in the history of American commercial aviation,” an article on the front page of The New York Times on June 25 reported about Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2501. The search turned up no survivors and no plane, only small pieces of the wreck. All 58 people on board were declared dead. The few human remains that the Coast Guard skimmed off the lake’s surface were buried in an unmarked mass grave. Newspapers were quickly distracted by the beginning of the Korean War. Un...
