A Delta passenger plane and an Air Force jet flew narrowly close to one another outside Washington, D.C., on Friday, prompting a collision warning and "corrective instructions" from air traffic controllers.

Two French air force jets have been captured colliding mid-air while rehearsing a stunt. The crash occurred in Saint-Dizier, eastern France, yesterday afternoon during a drill involving six Alpha Jets. Terrifying footage shows a group of jets flying in an organised line and firing coloured smoke flares when two planes suddenly collide mid-air.
