In the Los Angeles Times newspaper, there is an article about a helicopter and a small plane collision titled, "Helicopter, plane collide in Northern California" written by Jeff Gottlieb. The collision took place Sunday, just in midair. No one was seriously injured during the collision. One pilot declined medical treatment, but was still taken to the hospital. Only the pilots of each aircraft were hospitalized for minor injuries.
This collision took place near Rio Vista Municipal Airport, close to Sacramento, California. Because there are no major air craft laws (the way drivers have street lights) pilots must follow, the margin of error during a plane flight is much different than driving. Air craft pilots must be very per-cautious while flying. Luckily this accident was very small, and not fatal. Hopefully, small accidents like this can be avoided in the future.
I heard about this too. It was all over the news yesterday. I'm glad that nothing tragic happened. I'm suprised how the two aircrafts hit each other though. Both helicopters and airplanes have lights that give out their location. It would be a real blunder if the two aircrafts hit each other, which they did.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is mind blowing news. I would have never thought two planes could ever hit each other in the air like that, having both aerial radars and lights. As michael said above, thank god nothing tragic really happen. Good work Armen. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHey Armen! Your article is unbelievable. What are the odds of two airplanes hitting each other in the air and not even causing any deaths? That is pretty amazing if you ask me. Good job, keep up the good work!
