Longer Video of the Überlingen Mid-Air Collision (Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937, DHL Flight 611)

[GeNoAviation]

The big explosion on the right is the main explosion, the 2 fireballs that you can see on the left are (i guess) parts of the Tupolev, the cockpit section with some fuselage and a bigger part of the fuselage.

In Überlingen it is called "The night, when bodies rained from the sky"
Absolutely horrifying.

[dbuggr]

I'll never forget that night, as i was living there when this tragedy was happening. Rest in Peace!

[SoloUnSimp]

And yet I can't believe that at that moment, without it being clear in the video, more than 40 children were falling from the sky.

[crsmtph]

Its so horrifying that out of any place in the sky, this little route caused such an scary accident. I’m having trouble even imagining what the crew and the passengers felt. R.I.P

[dancarlorata]

May we all have a moment of silence to the tribute of DHL 611 and BTC 2937.



Rest in peace.

The Ufa schoolchildren in BTC 2937 😢💔 gosh i can't even imagine how excited they are with school trip vacation to Barcelona for two weeks. If they didn't missed the first flight maybe it wouldn't be happen. So tragic 💔.

How was the collision caught on camera? You’d have to be pointing it up in the sky at just the right place and time

[AurelienBTC]

it's horrible but it's very rare ! thanks for sharing that 👍

The 2nd fire ball cannot be DHL 611. Didn't DHL 611 keep flying for a couple of minutes before crashing?

[徐維興-yo]

It's the first time I've seen it.

[SpaceAsForPlanes]

The two fireballs in the sky

2 minutes later...



raining children 😢

[Superbanana]

this is one of the most tragic plane crashes ever 51 minors killed in horrid ways rip

[GregHuffman]

this happened the same day jeff hardy had his ladder match with undertaker

[Streak-iu]

I like how it says hello in German at the end

[DynamixAviation]

I have a question, if that's the main explosion, why is it getting bigger and brighter?
I think those two fireballs are probably the front of the fuselage and the left wing, which were torn off first, and the explosion on the right is probably the remains from the main explosion, the rear of the plane and the right wing, which where completely engulfed in flames and probably exploded in the air again, that's the only way I see this can make sense

[leonardotabasso]

The big light in the right is the moon, collision is At 0.03 and the 2 balls (or lights) are from the tupolev, the dhl stay 2 minutes on air and then go down too

[DgfRed-gv]

See those lights. The explosion was very very bright. Ok?

[BBP-nl]

how do you possibly be so lucky and unlucky at the same time to have two planes simultaneously collide mid air?

[staciepakula]

1: is this sped up
2: When do they actually collide because I can’t tell
