A final report on the horrific mid-air collision at the Wings over Dallas airshow has been released.
On November 12, 2022, two vintage WWII planes went down in flames after running into one another in front of hundreds. The National Transportation Safety Board says the person in charge of the air traffic did a poor job of planning.
Aviation attorney Kent Krause who represents some of the victims released the following statement to KRLD: "There was a lack of preparation and coordination that needs to be done in something like that airshow and the failure to have properly done so have obviously proven to be the cause of the tragic events that occurred."
The NTSB says the coordinator, called an air boss relied on pilots to look out for one another. But the report says because of the flight patterns and the limited visibility on the planes, a fighter plane cut off the back half of a B-17 bomber.
