A midair crash at a Dallas air show sent two planes into nose-dives that ended in a fireball and killed six people aboard Saturday, authorities said.
Anthony Montoya, 27, was at Wings Over Dallas with a friend when at about 1:45 p.m. aplane clipped the back end of a B-17 bomber, breaking its back in half, he said. The front half of the B-17 nosedived into the ground, followed by the other aircraft.
Kris Truskey, 43, who was near the main terminal of the airport with her husband and son, said in a message to The Post that she saw the tail of the B-17 “get sliced off” before the nosedive and a “fireball.” Brock and her husband sat about 100 feet from the runway during the show. A group of the P-63 planes had been escorting the B-17, she said, while fireworks simulating bombs blasted.Brock told The Post that earlier that day, a woman working for the show had been advertising a chance to fly in the B-17 if they were willing to pay for the experience. Saturday’s seats were all booked, Brock recalled the woman saying, but there were still available seats for Sunday.
