Authorities verified that a horrific mid-air collision between two private jets at Scottsdale Airport resulted in multiple fatality among people involved. A business jet belonging to a midsize category deviated from the runway before its collision with a parked jet that stood on private land according to Kelli Kuester who leads airport aviation outreach operations.
The Federal Aviation Administration leads an investigation to determine the reasons behind the plane accident. Scottsdale Fire Department Capt. Dave Folio disclosed medical workers took two injured patients to trauma facilities while one person remained in stable condition. Emergency responders maintained constant efforts to save the person who had not been freed from the crashed plane yet. Folio declared sympathy toward everyone touched by the incident while his team worked frantically to save the remaining individual in the plane.
This important airport that serves private jets in Phoenix has closed its runway indefinitely for an unknown period. The current accident occurs during a period of multiple aviation disasters in the United States after two fatal crashes involving a Washington D.C. aerial encounter killing 67 people and a Philadelphia medical transport which lost 7 lives.
When the Waste Management Phoenix Open arrives the Scottsdale Airport reaches its highest operational intensity as numerous people converge on the area. Local authorities remain silent about the people involved in the plane collision and the amount of aircraft damage.
The aviation community mourns while residents mourn alongside them by sending prayers for recovery to the injured people.
