"According to witnesses, a loud explosion was heard and then bodies and debris crashed to the ground."

that's a nice visual.

They were private planes, they kept to themselves, and no one ever thought that they would end up doing something so horrible.

When Kramer finds out about this the sh*t's gonna hit the fan!

Any alien bodies recovered? Oops, wrong Corona.

I always am grateful when private planes don't injure non-oocupants during a crash.

Any chance one of the planes had either Paris Hilton or Rosie O'Donnell?

I live in Corona so I am getting a kick out of these replies.

On the small town of Corona?
Really? Tell that to the millions of people buying $1M homes.

//Great movie, IMHO!

Small point, with 4 people dead, but:
Corona is east of LA, not west.

/where will they bury the survivors?

am I the only one that first read that as privateer aircraft?

Okay, Grammar Nazis, before you retaliate, I now realize that I used "was" too many times in my previous post.

Kthxbye.

This is why you don't drink and fly. After all, who wants to die over this:

Those planes collided miles away from ordinary.

The "Corona Cowboys" strike again. I've seen guys off-frequency, landing downwind, cutting people off in the pattern. It was bound to happen sooner or later. sigh...

Thats some nice flying Orville.

at least they were in private planes before they died. a luxury that many don't get to enjoy.

duh duh dah... duh duh dah, my Corona....

that airport gets insanely busy on the weekends, it has needed a control tower for years but no one cares until planes start trading paint.

Most private planes are owned by private pilot's clubs. When you join you pay 500 or so for insurance and towards the monthly payoffs (if it wasn't purchased outright). Its a collective time-share: you just pay for the gas.

Sounds like someone should've zigged instead of zagging during a VFR flight.

One of my sisters lives in Corona, so I'm not having a kick right now...

Like a rooster without a chicken: wing it.

Its hard to imagine with all that airspace that two very small aircraft could collide in mid-air.

MOPAULY: "According to witnesses, a loud explosion was heard and then bodies and debris crashed to the ground."

that's a nice visual.

I saw a similar midair collision over Torrance in about 1973. It's a visual that lasts a lifetime.

dictyboy-

Yikes, I can't imagine witnessing something like that...

I guess this is like when two ships in the middle of the ocean can't decide which way to turn and smash into each other...

It's hard to believe in 3-d space where you have so much room that planes manage to collide. Maybe they were like the pilots of a commercial flight I was on where the two planes passed head-on about 1000 feet apart.

I hope it wasn't Frank.

He flies out of Corona.

So it says 4 were killed all from the planes, then it says 2 were killed in the crash and two on the ground. So were two bystanders on the ground killed? Or have they already figured out that two definately were killed in the initial collision, and the other two were alive until they hit the ground;(?

I lived in Torrance in '73 (grew up there), but don't recall that. Care to refresh my memory?

Only rich people own airplanes, and (insert Digg phrase here) so they deserved it. We MUST (insert Digg phrase here), people! We must overcome the (insert Digg phrase here) (insert Digg phrase here) until the (insert Digg phrase here) victory!

Yeah, I was confused by that as well. I assume they mean two died instantly when the planes collided and the other two plummeted to their deaths.

wow thats a few miles from where i live here in riverside, how weird..i bet corona fire are eating up all this air time..

Class 9 CBS. thank you.

I just heard about this on my local news, they said that it was unknown whether people on the ground were hurt or if it was 4 people in the planes.
