01 Jun 2015 by Kiernan in Vibe, Video, World
Air shows are usually crowd-pleasers but this crash, taking place during Sunday’s Alba Adriatica air show in eastern Italy, took a turn for the worse after two planes collided mid-air and were sent spiralling to the ground.
One of the pilots involved, 37-year-old Marco Ribbi, was found dead by rescue divers whilst the other survived after making an emergency landing in the sea. The Telegraph reports:
The two-seater aircraft were travelling next to each other when one appeared to lose power, dropping straight into the path of the other…
Luigi Wilmo Franceshetti [has been named] as the surviving pilot…he suffered only minor injuries.
An investigation into the collision has been opened by the region’s deputy prosecutor.
You can see the dramatic footage of the collision and the emergency landing in the video up top.
