The parachute did them no good. If I am correct, you can see a person falling to the bottom right of the craft. How horrible.
This happened Saturday, Feb. 6 – 3 people died, 2 brothers in the Cirrus and the 25-yo pilot of the Piper Pawnee tow plane. He was my friend’s cousin – RIP.

You do realize that civil aviation represents all aircraft that are not military don’t you? What your statement just said to everyone is that you no longer want passenger jets taking people to far off places in a fraction of the time it would take to drive. You no longer want medivac, police helicopters, firefighting aircraft, and cargo aircraft. Think about the impact on everyone’s lives this would have.
You must be either very sheltered or very young.
Should we discontinue boats, jet-ski’s, motorcycles, and cars too. No wait, lets keep cars, they never crash, right? Your about as sharp as bowling ball !!!
The pilot of the tow plane was a Marine Sargent who just returned home from Iraq in April. He was a good kid who had already earned his Bachelors Degree and who was building time to be a professional aviator. He was the best and the brightest. Semper Fi Marine and smile as you now can reach out your hand and touch the face of god!

I think you should take a hard look at not being stupid….
@Oregon, What was it Ben Franklin said?
“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Sir, you stay away from my right to enjoy the passion and freedom of flight and I’ll stay out of your way to espouse stupidity and desire to limit other’s liberties.
What have you got against us? Private aviation is safe and reasonable. It’s just a lot more high-profile when something goes wrong.
And comments as well… Civil aviation is safer than motorcycles.
When did this happen, and how many people died? It is so sad… These things make me really sad.
@Oregon696969- What kind of look are you talking about? **** happens. We as a nation are becoming a bunch of fairies that whenever anything bad or sad or tragic happens we need to “take a hard look.” I’ll not stop flying because of this, nor the fact that I’ve witnessed a mid air collision. I didn’t stop riding my bicycle when I hit a tree to avoid a car as a kid.When you get a bloody nose you pick yourself up and learn a lesson. RIP pilots.
An accident happens so we should take civil freedoms away? People died commuting to work in Atlanta today and almost everyday. Does that mean we should end commuting to work? People like you scare me.
i witnessed a midair back in May of 09 in Alabama. After the impact I ran to see if there was anything that I could do. I wish I hadn’t because there was nothing to be done. I think about it often. Fire and mid-air are what I fear the most about flying.
I should have said “private aviation”.
What the hell makes you say that? It’s the same thing as saying “as a nation its time we take a hard look at ******** the American people without healthcare” among plent others. Aviation is neccessary just like driving.
As a nation, it’s time we take a hard look at discontinuing civil aviation.
If the plane was engulfed in flames, it probably would have been preferable to jump out of it.
Looks like the parachute did its job quite well.
Perhaps, I was not there so I do feel guilty now about criticizing now that I think about it. The person filming could have had a baby with them for example, there could have been lots of reasons not to run over and try to help.
it was part of plane
you can see one of the people falling to the ground at the beginning.
@bluemagictube I don’t think there’s anything anyone could have done.
things happen talaga. it’s a lesson to be learned safety counts even when having a good time.
My God. That’s a BRS parachute that was manually deployed after the collision. The passengers must have burned alive on the way down. This is too disturbing.
