The four aircrew members are still unaccounted for. The talk is about an in flight collision.

That's absolutely terrible.

Sad. It's a shame when these things happen.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

Unfortunately the first body has been recovered. Leave little hope for the others.

The two pilots were a man and a woman while both navigators were men.

S!

When it's low level, there is precious little time to survive a collision.

It has been confirmed the recovery of the remains of all four crewmembers.
Apparently there never was a chance.

Sorry for the details- don't read if you're easily impressed.

Click to reveal..
The bodies state, severely mangled and extremely charred- two of which more or less found in a small radius around and under one of the cockpits- would indicate that it was a very direct head on crash.


One of the two planes, apparently, shouldn't have been there- there's no suspect yet- and pretty much crashed head on in the extreme proximity of the other's cockpit.
Three different prosecution have been started- not sure prosecution it's the best way to translate the word.

Case? Legal actions?
Those are simply aimed at reconstructing three different aspects of the collision.

S! To the families who have just received the remains for a rightful burial and to all those brave women and men that put every day their lives on the line, whether in training or first line, in the air, ground or at the sea.

Rest in peace brave pilots.
