The social media users have stated that precautions should have been taken and asked that why the planes were flying in such close proximity.

Play stupid games, win stupid prices. Hope they all made it safely down to earth. Next time keep plenty of distance.

Why were the planes so close together

I once went skydiving. The next time that plane took off it crashed and killed all 6 people on board. Including 3 I’d jumped with. They were too low for chutes to deploy. Thankfully these folks had sufficient altitude.

Aviation history has seen some deadliest aircraft collisions which have left hundreds of people dead.

In 1977, two jumbo jets crashed into each other at the Tenerife Airport. The death toll was recorded at 583 and is the deadliest accident in aviation history.

A total of 71 people, including school children, were killed when a civilian and a cargo jet crashed into each other over Germany back in 2002.
