00:20A terrifying mid-air collision caught on camera.
00:26Two U.S. military jets slamming into each other during a live air show performance,
00:32before plunging toward the ground in a fiery crash.
00:38The dramatic incident unfolded at the Gunfighter Skies Air Show near Mountain Home Air Force Base in the U.S.
00:46state of Idaho.
00:47According to officials, two EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft collided mid-air, just miles from the airbase during aerial
00:59demonstrations.
01:02Shocking videos posted online captured the exact moment the aircraft appeared to strike each other in the sky.
01:14Moments later, four parachutes suddenly opened as the crews ejected from the falling jets.
01:23The damaged aircraft then spiraled downward before crashing to the ground, sending thick plumes of smoke rising into the air.
01:32Emergency crews rushed immediately to the scene.
01:36Mountain Home Air Force Base was temporarily locked down as firefighters and rescue teams responded to the wreckage and resulting
01:44fire.
01:47Witnesses at the air show described scenes of panic and disbelief as spectators watched the collision unfold in real time.
01:59According to reports, attendees were instructed not to leave the airbase while emergency operations were underway.
02:06But amid the chaos came a major relief.
02:10All four crew members aboard the aircraft were found alive.
02:14An air show announcer reportedly told the crowd that there were four good parachutes.
02:20Officials later confirmed all four pilots successfully ejected and were located south of the crash site.
02:27No fatalities have been reported.
02:31The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
02:35A spokesperson for Mountain Home Air Force Base confirmed authorities are examining what led to the mid-air impact.
02:42The EA-18G Growler is one of the U.S. military's most advanced electronic warfare aircraft designed for radar jamming,
02:52electronic attack, and combat support missions.
02:56The crash has now raised serious questions about safety procedures during high-performance aerial demonstrations.
03:03The gunfighter Sky's event had only recently returned after an eight-year absence.
03:10But this is not the first tragedy linked to the event.
03:14During the 2018 show, a hang glider pilot was killed in a separate accident.
03:20The investigators are combing through wreckage, reviewing video footage, and trying to understand how two advanced military aircraft ended up
03:30colliding in front of thousands of spectators.
