2 Planes Collide in Air; 3 Die, 3 Land Unhurt
Two cargo planes collided in midair, one of them crashing and killing three people but the other landing roughly yet safely, aviation officials said.
The multiengine, fixed-wing cargo planes departed Milwaukee on the same route and collided about 5 p.m., said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory. One landed at an airport in Juneau, about 50 miles northwest of Milwaukee, and the other crashed and burned in a field near Watertown, about 20 miles south.
None of the three people aboard the plane that landed was hurt, Cory said.
