Landrotten Highlander Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just saw online a small video in an article of a Belgian newspaper. Looks like a a P-63 flew through a B-17 just aft of the wings, and the detached rear fuselage of the B-17 can be seen falling just before the rest of the B-17 exploded in a large fireball. The article itself is in Dutch, but the video images are universal: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20221112_97534743 (and no paywall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Barry Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 So tragic. The video took my breath away. I have to think it all ended pretty quickly for everyone in those planes. RIP. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDoo Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Horrific, a complete lack of situational awareness. I was a Human Factors in Military Aviation Facilitator for my last 8 years in the RCAF and just viewing these videos reveals a lot of links in the chain of events that led to this accident. There is always a chain of events and not just one cause of an accident. Is the system that broken that this preventable accident could happen?
