Default Ohio midair crash kills 3


There's still no information on the FAA web site:

Does anyone have any more information about this MAC:

SHARONVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Two small planes collided Friday
afternoon over suburban Cincinnati, Ohio, raining debris onto
roads and back yards and killing three people on board but missing
those on the ground as rush hour approached, federal investigators
said.

The two aircraft narrowly missed falling on a busy freeway.

"I'm just thankful it wasn't worse than it was, with school buses
and people coming home from work and the interstate that we have
nearby," said Michael Schappa, Sharonville's police chief.

The Federal Aviation Administration had no information about the
planes' flight plans or why they were so close together. Blue Ash
Airport, a runway used by small planes, is several miles away.
State Highway Patrol Lt. Wayne Price said investigators assume
both planes took off from there.

The planes' pilots were not required to file flight plans and
apparently were not in contact with air traffic controllers, the
FAA said. Under federal regulations, the pilots were responsible
for maintaining a safe distance on a clear, sunny afternoon.
