Two planes crashed into each other mid-air at Dallas Executive Airport Saturday, with both planes plummeting to the ground in a fiery explosion, video footage shows.
The collision took place during the Wings Over Dallas World War II Airshow, a spokesperson for the Dallas Fire-Rescue saying 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 during Saturday afternoon’s show around 1:20 p.m, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The show was a part of a three-day Veterans Day weekend event, although Friday’s events were canceled due to weather. Further shows had been planned for Sunday, although it’s not clear if the Commemorative Air Force will go forward following the accident. The FAA will investigate the crash alongside the National Transportation Safety Board, the administration said. The US 67 high is closed and traffic is being diverted in the wake of the crash, NBC Dallas Fort Worth reported.
