01:04A terrifying mid-air collision caught on camera.
01:09Two U.S. military jets slamming into each other during a live air show performance before plunging toward the ground
01:18in a fiery crash.
01:21The dramatic incident unfolded at the Gunfighter Skies air show near Mountain Home Air Force Base in the U.S.
01:29state of Idaho.
01:30According to officials, two EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft collided mid-air, just miles from the airbase during aerial
01:42demonstrations.
01:46Shocking videos posted online captured the exact moment the aircraft appeared to strike each other in the sky.
01:57Moments later, four parachutes suddenly opened as the crews ejected from the falling jets.
02:06The damaged aircraft then spiraled downward before crashing to the ground, sending thick plumes of smoke rising into the air.
02:16Emergency crews rushed immediately to the scene.
02:19Mountain Home Air Force Base was temporarily locked down as firefighters and rescue teams responded to the wreckage and resulting
02:28fire.
02:30Witnesses at the air show described scenes of panic and disbelief as spectators watched the collision unfold in real time.
02:42According to reports, attendees were instructed not to leave the airbase while emergency operations were underway.
02:50But amid the chaos came a major relief.
02:54All four crew members aboard the aircraft were found alive.
02:58An air show announcer reportedly told the crowd that there were four good parachutes.
03:03Officials later confirmed all four pilots successfully ejected and were located south of the crash site.
03:11No fatalities have been reported.
03:15The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
03:18A spokesperson for Mountain Home Air Force Base confirmed authorities are examining what led to the mid-air impact.
03:25The E-A-18G Growler is one of the U.S. military's most advanced electronic warfare aircraft designed for radar
03:35jamming, electronic attack, and combat support missions.
03:39The crash has now raised serious questions about safety procedures during high-performance aerial demonstrations.
03:47The gunfighter Sky's event had only recently returned after an eight-year absence.
03:53But this is not the first tragedy linked to the event.
03:58During the 2018 show, a hang glider pilot was killed in a separate accident.
04:04The investigators are combing through wreckage, reviewing video footage, and trying to understand how two advanced military aircraft ended up
04:13colliding in front of thousands of spectators.
