According to Kelly Quester, the aviation planner and outreach coordinator, the crash took place when a medium-sized commercial jet went off the runway and collided with a private jet. Captain Dave Folio of the Scottsdale Fire Control Department confirmed that one person died at the scene. In addition, four others sustained injuries, with one reported to be in critical condition.
The recent crash adds to a series of aviation accidents in the United States. In a tragic incident in Washington, D.C., a collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and a passenger aircraft in mid-air led to the deaths of 67 people.
This was followed by a deadly crash of a medical jet in Philadelphia, killing seven individuals. Furthermore, another plane crash occurred in Alaska, claiming the lives of 10 people. These recent events highlight the increasing frequency of aviation accidents in the United States, leading to concerns over air travel safety.
