Wednesday’s collision in Arizona comes just days after a series of aviation accidents in North America, including the overturning of a plane in Toronto, Canada; a fire involving an aircraft in Laredo, Texas; the collision of two units at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; and another fire in Texas. None of these incidents resulted in fatalities.
However, in two previous accidents, one in Washington and another in Philadelphia, dozens of casualties were reported.
