20:03 – An accident between two Tornado occurred in the skies over Ascoli Piceno. The two military jets that collided during a low-level training, rushed over the hills. After the impact, several fires were reported between Olibra and Venarotta. The airmen 4 (2 pilots and navigators 2), from the base of Brescia, would be launched before the crash: I am missing.

Some witnesses reported seeing the two aircraft touch in flight, one of the two then caught fire, and both have fallen to the ground, triggering outbreaks of fire in the area between Ascoli Piceno, Roccafluvione and Venarotta. A few hours after the accident, a Casamurana, a town close to where the two fighter crashed, it was identified a parachute; of the four missing but there is still no trace.

The roar was heard even in the coastal resort of San Benedetto del Tronto, thirty kilometers from Ascoli. The fireball was seen even by the Monte Peas, twenty miles away. Immediately after the impact of aircraft debris and burning debris fell to the ground “like confetti”, say the residents of the village of Casamurana. “We have received millions of calls,” say the firefighters of Ascoli, the first to take action on the site, they received reinforcements from all brands and also from Teramo. “It could be an apocalypse, a matter of seconds and all we would have risked the worst,” said Mayor Guido Castelli.

The Air Force, which has announced that it has opened an investigation into the incident, he did know, however, that “our primary objectives are to clarify the incident and find the four missing airmen.”
