Default Mid-air collision over Colorado

2 Cessna's(a 210 and a 180) collided over CO the other day.Yet all 6
people on both planes survived uninjured.The 210 landed without it's
nosewheel and the 180 landed upside down and w/o it's tail assembly(most
likely snapped off by the 210).Absolutely amazing.

I wonder if they ever found the 180's vertical stabilizer.

Do you suppose they could put it back on?
