Two planes crashed into each other mid-air Saturday during a Dallas air show that was packed with families marking Veteran’s Day weekend, with both planes plummeting to the ground in a fiery explosion, video footage shows. Six people who were aboard the planes are feared to have died, ABC reported.
The collision took place during the Wings Over Dallas World War II Airshow. A spokesperson for the Dallas Fire-Rescue said he didn’t know the status of the pilots or whether others on the ground were injured. The two planes, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra, crashed around 1:20 p.m as spectators were watching, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
“I just stood there. I was in complete shock and disbelief,” Anthony Montoya, who witnessed the crash, told the Associated Press. “Everybody around was gasping. Everybody was bursting into tears. Everybody was in shock.”
