America: 2 small planes collide in the air in Denver, 3 killed in accident

Colorado. There is news of a major incident from Denver, the capital of Colorado, USA. On Saturday, two small airplanes collided in mid-air. Three people have died in this incident. The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that two people on board one plane were found dead in the wreckage and the body of the man on the other plane was found at a different location in the wreckage. Mountain View Fire Rescue, which operates in the area, has confirmed three deaths. At the same time, the police have also closed some roads in the area.

According to news agency AP, the collision happened just before 9 am local time on Saturday. The identity of the victims has not been released at this time. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in a statement posted on Twitter that it is investigating a collision between a Cessna 172 and Sonex Genos aircraft near Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Denver.

The Cessna 172 also known as the Skyhawk is one of the most popular airplanes in the world. It has a seating capacity of four people. It is commonly used in flight instruction. According to the Washington Post, the case of planes colliding in the middle of the air in America is very less. So far, 30 such cases have been reported in America, the highest in one year.

Be aware that aviation regulations in the US require private pilots to “watch and avoid” other aircraft flying in the air near them. They have to follow the takeoff and landing procedures closely. Collisions are more likely to occur in populated and heavy traffic areas.
