At the air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho (USA), two Navy fighter jets collided in mid-air and crashed to the ground. The moment was captured on camera, and witnesses reported that four crew members ejected from the burning planes.
The accident occurred when an F-18 Super Hornet and an EA-18G Growler of the Navy, performing demonstration flights as part of the "Gunfighter Skies Air Show," collided in the air.
Footage captured the moments when the two fighter jets ignited within seconds after the collision and, breaking apart, rapidly fell to the ground.
Immediately after the collision, which took place on the second day of the air show, the Mountain Home Air Force Base, where the incident occurred, was completely closed by military authorities.
Witnesses in the area noted that immediately after the planes collided, four parachutes opened in the sky, suggesting that the crew members may have ejected before the explosion and crash.
However, there have been no official statements from military authorities regarding any casualties or injuries resulting from the disaster. It has been reported that military authorities have launched a large-scale investigation into the incident.
