I’ve met the crew of the B-17. This is absolutely heartbreaking. There were a lot of older veterans and very kind young men on their crew. I cannot imagine the pain these victims’ families are in.
I kept seeing that specific airship fly by the neighborhood I was working at by highway 67. I was amazed of the beauty of the plane and I vividly remember the red pain on the plane and the turret on the tail area. It’s so sad that it crashed because it was my favorite plane of all the ones I saw fly by today.

It is a mid air collision that should NEVER have happened
Isn’t there Tecas for this because one happened in the 80s
Yes. They should have established varrying clearance heights for all types of aircrafts.
@Tmphone709 these planes were made in the 1930s-50s and usually fly close too the ground, they wouldn't need tecas normally but the p-63 had limited visibility and they couldn't spot the b-17

As horrible and tragic as this is… It makes me realize the hell they went through in WWII when scenarios similar to this played out 1000’s of times over Europe.
accidents were a major cause of pilot/aircraft losses IIRC
Sonderkommando Elbe, last ditch effort of Luftwaffe to take down b17s over Germany, they rammed them in their 109
A lot crashes happened over water as well which is pretty terrifying too
Ok
@@BesoffenerIslamist So Nazis crashing into allied bombers was saving more lives than killing Hitler, the man that was actively committing racial genocide at a rate that had never been seen before and has not been seen since, the man that is responsible for the deaths of over 20,000,000 million people. I'm not sure if you're pro Hitler or just extremely undedicated.
The smaller colliding plane - the ghost-like silver plane (a Bell P-63 Kingcobra) that comes in from the left rear quarter and collides with the bigger dark four-engined vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - has virtually no visibility downward and forward; while in its highly-banked, steep turn this means the P-63 pilot could not see in the precise direction that the B-17 lay and was coming from. Subject to a subsequent determination that the P-63 suffered a mechanical failure or its pilot suffered an in-air stroke or became otherwise incapacitated in some way (unlikely events given the degree of controlled flight exhibited by the P-63), in my opinion the pilot should've paid more heed to the downward-and-forward visibility issue and planned his course better to keep himself clear of the B-17. The P-63 had no business performing such a turning maneuver in close proximity to other aircraft, especially when such other aircraft were in a spot the P-63 pilot could've anticipated them being in; very poor, irresponsible, arrogant pilotage by the P-63 pilot i.e. pilot error.
Another key question needing an answer is: why were these two aircraft operating at the same altitude in such close proximity to each other? Didn't an airshow plan have them keep to separate altitudes?
But don't mind me - we'll have to read the final NTSB report on this incident in about a year to know the definitive most-likely explanation. But it is extremely unlikely that the P-63 pilot will not be found to be a primary culprit in this incident, with the other significant share of blame belonging to the CAF itself for its poor flight plan for, and control of, this air show.
The B-17 pilot is blameless in this incident but there is no way, I'm sorry to say, any of the four to five B-17 crewman survived this collision, nor could the P-63 pilot have either.
This is the best, most informative footage of this incident I have seen so far.
Way sucks all the way 'round.

Very good analysis and contribution. Personally, I think it is high time to end warbird flights. There are not many B17s left in this world.
What I first thought of when I saw the video footage of the collision and crash to the ground was that the pilot may have suicided it. One thing is for sure, the pilot of the smaller plane clearly was not paying attention to where he was going if it was an accident. This is what you call an epic facepalm moment! RIP all who passed... ✝️👍🏻🇺🇸
@@Wookierabbit I’d support a cause to reproduce these beautiful planes. Keep the authentic ones safely on the ground.
As much as it saddens me, I have to agree. We probably need to ground the few warbirds left.
Well stated. It is sad not only for the loss of life but the loss of 2 rare war birds.
I have no words. Prayers for everyone.
Are you actually gonna pray?

To think that this had happened every day in a war situation really makes you reflect on what happens to many good men.

In ww2 it was reported to be close to 30%, so realistically it was probably much higher.

It might have been a horrible way to die but it was meant to be. Just like final destination, if you avoid death, it will come for you no matter if you hide.
This is the reason why we don't have airshows with multiple airplanes anymore in Germany. RIP and condolence to the families.
the reason is the ramstein crash 😉
My father survived Ramstein with minor injuries. Otherwise i would not exist.
never forgot the ramstein crash
The reason in Ustic... uh, ok
The Ramstein disaster sealed the faith of airshows in Germany forever. This country should have learned from that disaster and done the same. If that happened here than this disaster never would have occurred. Oh well. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
I WAS THERE TO SEE IT.
My little sister pointed out two planes to close to the ground. And my mom ( in the military) saying that’s probably the crew of B- 17 she telling us stuff when I noticed that they looked a bit to close together and then they just crashed together.
My sister stared crying because she said the people on the plane are not ok and need to go the hospital. I hope there families are ok and healing very well.
They are all dead m pretty sure

@@Mothobiusngl that sounds dark asf
@@_NormalEditor I know
Man... the worst part is that the B-17 pilots were still alive for those few seconds before the ground impact. Can't imagine...
In addition to not knowing (or seeing rather) what suddenly caused their aircraft to go down. Assuming they didn’t see the p63, they went from normal flight, to explosion, to impact within seconds.
And the nose gunner, and the tail gunner
Both planes hit the ground very quickly. The crew in the B-17 likely never knew what hit them. It hit the ground within about 5 seconds of being hit.
No, the worst part is an NBC affiliate station trying to get likes and viewers off of that tragedy. Dispicable.

It was wild how fast that fighter disintegrated the second it hit the B17.

To everyone saying this was intentional:
It’s important to consider that the P-63 was banking left, away from the B-17 and at a slightly higher altitude than the B-17. The B-17 was essentially in the P-63’s blind spot. If the pilot knew how close he was, it was probably already too late.

That's when they are bound to happen. VFR/ Clear days are the worst especially when everyone is out and about flying.
They had thirteen planes flying around in all different directions simultaneously. Seems like this was a highly plausible scenario.
Especially with P-63's. Those planes are touchy as hell to fly safely as it is. Crazy mistake made here. 17 crew never had a chance. I just hope no one suffered.
You've never seen an airshow?
The fighters were flying an inside pattern and one KingCobra went wider on the turn into the path of the 17, who was flying an outside pattern. Still...a terrible loss.

My theory about this accident is, P-63 pilot lost sight the B-17 for a few seconds, i think because P-63 was flying a little higher in altitude than bomber, that was just a blink but was enough to become a tragedy, two historical airplanes lost but mainly 2 or 3 great and experience pilots have been lost today too. Only a miracle could have saved the pilots. All our condolences and prays to them from Mexico.
Your theory makes sense p-63 lost sight trying to catch up with the mustangs p51
@@ramirogonzalez563it wasn't even that serious, buddy caused death and destruction cuz he wanted to catch up. If he had been patient, or communicated with the tower or people in the other planes, he could've avoided this disaster. Its so dangerous to "wing it" at an air show, especially considering how low they are flying. You have no altitude to work on a problem in flight. A little bit of patience could've avoided this whole thing.

The B17 survived a war , but not an airshow.
In the '70s I was at an air show and I was sitting in the restaurant looking out the window and it was so quiet in there and I saw a small plane just nose dive down and crash and it just felt like nobody noticed because of the quiet it was very bizarre moment felt a little bit like the Challenger moment

@John Hennessy, I was thinking the same thing. The way the P63 was banking and turning, his own wings and aircraft would have blocked his vision.
Likely a blind spot for the B-17 as well.
Only tighter air traffic control or better event scheduling could have possibly saved them.

*Controller Disconnected* 😂
This B-17 was parked for several years during the 1980s at the airport where I learned to fly.
It had suffered a terrible landing mishap at this airport and was nearly a total loss.
Only through the extreme dedication of volunteer mechanics was it able to fly again.
It took them YEARS of work just to repair the worst of the damage to get the plane to the point that it could be ferried to another airport where the rest of the repairs could be done.
This plane was outside on the ramp the entire time. There was no hangar on the airport large enough to accommodate it.
The volunteers worked in the heat, rain, snow, ice, and bitter cold until their job was done.
I doubt that any of the volunteers are still living. I’d hate for them to see what became of the airplane and the death toll from the crash. 😢
